2 Books, 2 Months, 2 Awards and 2 Much to handle...

I have seen good and bad days, happy and sad days, extreme struggle and amazingly happy moments in life, truly I have crossed half way mark of my life and wisdom tooth is paining after 40.

When I got selected as Dy. Supdt of Police, I was barely 21, I thought this is the happiest day of my life, the similar feeling came when I got married (I am writing this, as my wife can also read this blog), very similar feeling came when we ware blessed with a Son - Shrey and very much similar feeling when Shiny (my daughter) came to our home.

It took me 10 years to accept that I should not be a perfectionist and now should stop writing anymore better and felt once again very happy when one of the biggest brand in publishing industry - Sterling Publishers decided to publish my book - Winning is Everything, again felt delighted and honoured when Dr. Kiran Bedi, my idol, launched my book, the happiness doubled when India's biggest publisher - Diamond Books decided to publish my book in Hindi (Safalta Ki Aur 10 Aasan Kadam) and I was on cloud 9 when Mr. Kirti Azad, Member of Parliament for everyone and a World Cup Winning Hero for me, launched my book at Delhi Book Fair.

I really thought these were the most happiest moments after a struggle of many years but suddenly life changed when I came to know that the demand of the book is not only in India but in abroad also it is in good demand, I was informed that 200 copies of my book have gone to Philippines, how excited I was and then one day I got another mail from Sterling that my book (Winning is Everything) has been shortlisted for Best Business Book of the Award at Sharjah Book Fair 2012, I could not reach Sharjah and I picked up the priorities of my profession over my passion.  The day (7th Nov) came and my heart beat increased when the result was to be declared, an sms from Mr S K Ghai, Managing Director - Sterling Publishers, who was in Sharjah and was more sure than me, increased my heart beat to the maximum, when I read - 'Great...we got it', I was happy, very happy, extreamly happy but could not read the message as it was dim, shady and cloudy, tears played their role...

Much to my belief, I decided to check it on web first before letting the world know and had to wait for a day, on the fateful morning of 8th Nov. I checked on my friendly search engine - Google and got confirmed that my 10 years hard work - Winning is Everything, A 10 Step Guide to Sure Shot Success, has got me the success, I got the Best Business Book of the Year Award for 2012 at Sharjah International Book Fair.

The celebrations were on and critics were also not silent, someone called me not to congratulate but to ask how come in India you have not yet been picked up for an award for your Masterpiece and how can others outside India first spotted your talent and recognised you.  The God was listening our conversation and the next call I got was from an angle who informed me that I have been selected for a National Award as well, which is given for the literacy work - my Books - Winning is Everything and 'Safalta Ki Aur 10 Aasan Kadam' got me another national level award - Maulana Azad Puruskar and I was to be given a Gold Medal with certificate in next 3 days.

The happiness was in the atmosphere, cheers, phone calls, congratulations and blessings came from all directions, I was happy to be busy to say thanks, thank you, so nice of you and your blessings....

In this hassle bustle of Success, someone quietly asked me - 2 Books, 2 Months, 2 Awards and 2 Much to handle...it is difficult - what should be my answer...

Dear All,

I am going to launch my book - Winning is Everything very soon...

‘Winning is Everything’ is the outcome of my learning and experience of 17 years starting with imbibing conventional leadership traits from Internal Security (Police) Academy to the lobbies of IIM - Lucknow from where I picked up the concepts of success in Corporate world and the experience through these years as a Police Officer to Chef People Officer.

The book will not only give attention on ‘What’ is required in life to be successful, rather ‘How’ it can be achieved in a very practical manner, one can easily understand the magic mantras with natural ease with the help of ‘hitting the nail’ stories.
