Simulkandi-in-Retrospect

Book excerpt: This is an inspiratory fact of our family. This book highlights the positivity of life. To enrich further the positivity of life, I wish to imbibe the spirit of survival with a poetic line from a poem by Sri Rabindranath Tagore which states, “No one should fear the black cloud in the sky, you all know that there is always the shining Sun behind the cloud.” It is you and only you who is the architect of your own fate. This book is a gift to my grandson, to guide him when he finds himself in tough times.
