Prologue
It‘s 7th October today, my 30th birthday. Two years
passed very soon; just two years ago all my opinion
about someone changed completely. I remember that
was my 28th birthday, and on that day, the mystery
behind all my questions unveiled. Today, my wife
Sanjana has organized a grand party at our residence—
The Singhania's Mansion. Mumbai witnesses such kind
of parties every day or every week of a month. There is a
misconception that Mumbai is a city for glamorous and
rich folks only, but apart from that, the city acts as a
platform for all those deserving and talented youngsters
who come here with a hope to make it big and to become
successful. Some accomplish their goals, and some of
them lost their identities here in the world of countless
DREAMS.
It is 7:30 p.m. — 8:00 p.m. everything is as same as any
normal day, but for me, today is seriously different,
maybe something inside me is not the same. It is a
strange feeling. I don't want to attend my birthday party,
but still, I dressed like a birthday boy in a black
Sherwani. I just didn't want to go out anywhere. What I
wanted to do is to sit in my room in complete silence and
write down everything whatever is on my mind—yes, I
wanted to complete my book, there were many things
which I hadn't told anyone. Many stories, many incidents
were there in my mind which remained UNTOLD! I
wanted to share my secret stuff with someone, but I
didn't want anyone to interrupt me. So I decided to share
my stories with my diary from where I can take out all
the entries and make a good book out of it. Meanwhile,
as I was writing in my diary, Sanjana called me. ―Arjun,
come on! Everyone is waiting for you downstairs,‖ she

said. I looked behind while standing near my study table;
I saw Sanjana standing at the door of our room waiting
for me to join her to go downstairs where the party was
happening. At first, when I looked at her, I was lost in
my thoughts for a few seconds; I was just wondering
how a woman could look so beautiful with each passing
day. Well, it was my love for her that was increasing
with each passing minute of my life. She was looking
damn beautiful and gorgeous in that lavish red saree and
hair untied. Then suddenly, I came back to my senses
when she held my hand. Maybe, she sensed what I was
thinking and blushed, which made her look extremely
adorable. Then, we both headed toward the hall
downstairs to welcome the guests. Surprisingly, they
were all present. They were already waiting for us. As
soon as we entered the hall, the guests made a huge
round of applause to welcome both of us. It was turning
out to be a great evening for me. At first, I didn't want to
attend my birthday party, but now I started to enjoy it.
The credit goes to Sanjana who tried her best to make
my day even more special. Her efforts were the sole
reason that I had to enjoy as she did a great job. She is
the only reason behind this successful event. ―So I have
to appreciate it and respect her feelings too, and for that,
I have to enjoy,‖ I said to myself. I have no other choice
too—I wondered.
She made me enjoy a lot, she made me sing, she
made me dance a bit and after a while when I started
feeling tired because of so much amusement and fun...
she made me sit on a sofa to the left corner of the hall
and bought a glass of orange juice for me—that orange
juice was very refreshing. Then, she introduced me to
Mr. Rakesh Verma, amongst the most respectable
businessperson in the city because of his values and
clear business ethics. He wanted to invest in my new
project, which is to build a chain of hospitals in the state

of Maharashtra. I needed some investors, and nothing is
more exciting when a reputed businessperson like him is
ready to invest in my project. Moreover, Mr. Verma was
waiting for me, since the past two or three months. But
because of my extremely busy and awful schedule, I
wasn‘t able to meet him. All of this, I got to know from
my manager, Vikram Sinha. Apart from being my
manager, he had been a very good friend of mine since
college times. He had worked with me for the past four
years, and now he is as good as a family member to me.
Everything was working well, and as expected of my
wife, I am very happy after such an amazing celebration
party, and most importantly, I had gotten that last
investor for my project and that too, a man of grand
personality in the city. ―I am very happy,‖ I said to
myself, but it was nothing like that because something in
me was still incomplete, my happiness was
incomplete…. I wanted to complete my diary entries; I
wanted to make a complete book out of my diary entries.
The party concluded at 11:30 p.m. and all the guests left.
Meanwhile, Sanjana asked me to sleep as I was looking
too tired, but I knew that I was completely fine and was
not feeling sleepy at all. ―You sleep, Sanju,‖ I said.
Then, I left her alone. She went to sleep, and I went
downstairs and stepped outside the house to take a stroll.
I walked for some time and then rested a while in the
garden of my mansion. After some time, I saw it was
almost 2:00 a.m. I realized it was seriously too late and I
should sleep now, so I went to my bedroom. Sanjana
was fast asleep. I lay down beside her and tried to sleep.
Within 30 minutes I fell asleep.
The next day, Sanjana woke me up as always. She
hugged me and wished, ―Good Morning!‖ It is always
wonderful to start the day in this way. Today, I took a
leave from my office as I didn't feel like going. Its crazy
when I say I took a leave from my office, I mean it's my

company, my office, so I can do whatever I want. I took
a leave not because I was feeling too tired, but because
of yesterday evening…. It is because I wanted to write
my diary entries, I wanted to share all those stories
which remained untold till now, I wanted to write
everything that was on my mind. So I went to my study
where it was peaceful, and I could write down
everything without any hindrance. I was about to start
writing when my mobile rang. It was Vikram calling. I
attended the call.
―Hello Sir, here is some great news for you, the
construction work at the site is almost complete, and the
inauguration ceremony will be held a day after tomorrow
as a part of our new project,‖ he said. It was indeed some
great news for me now, but I knew I still have a long
way to go. I hung up the call and took my pen and
started thinking about where to start writing. What will
be a good starting point? Hmm! Let‘s begin with the day
when it all started—I got the answer from my inner self.
So, let‘s get started.

Chapter 1
It was like any normal day in Mumbai, but it was raining
heavily, and this is something which always increases
the beauty of this city even more. But today it was
something different; there was nothing pleasant about
the rain. Rather, it was dangerous and a wild image of
Nature. My father (Mr. Ajay Singhania) lifted my
mother (Mrs. Nita Singhania) up in his arms and then
made her sit in the car to take her to the city hospital as
she was expecting a baby. But the traffic of Mumbai
played a negative role in this story, just what a villain
does in a Bollywood thriller movie. With passing
seconds, my mother was losing her patience because her
pain was increasing and becoming intolerable. It is a fact
that if we order a pizza and call an ambulance at the
same time, then it will be the pizza boy who will win the
race and not the ambulance, and that is the reason my
father didn't wait for an ambulance and rushed the
hospital on his own. It was about forty-five minutes later
when my parents reached the hospital, and the staff
along with the doctor-in-charge hosted them. The doctor
instructed the two nurses to take my mom to the
operation theatre. Yes, operation theatre because the
situation had turned worst by then. The doctor had
already told my father that the hemoglobin level in my
mother's body was really low, but that was not a big
problem as they will be able to arrange the necessary
amount of blood from the blood bank. But the main
problem was that there was very less chance of survival
of both my mother and child. In short, they were saying
that there was only a one percent chance that the baby
would come out alive in this world. The doctors were
trying their best to do the operation successfully and just
