Isolemnly confess to my dear readers, I have no distinctiveness in style and method as I know naught the entire range of literature nor the mode of writing.
I have written this, for the love of writing, not for money or reputation. The former I am having sufficient just to carry on my life happily and peacefully fulfilling my social obligations, the latter is not worth a pin's point in the general economy of the vast universe. Work done for the love of working brings its own reward far more quickly and surely than work done for mere payment.
As I firmly believe that what comes from the heart can reach the heart and with this theme ever alive in my mind, I have pressed my soul upon the white paper to renew the power of soul and enforce that one theme in young and old alike, so that they may vitally realise who and what they are; solely inspired by my inner-self. It is, then, but Datural, I might not have argued many of the points with masterly advocacy and might have missed many things. I beseach of my friends to be considerate and accept the errors and ommissions in a sympathetic manner with a broad mind.
in fine, I may be thankful to my readers if after reading this book and in doing away with insularity, they train themselves into right ways of thinking and acting at the same time building their character a pure and worthy of appreciation........
