Dare to Be Yourself in Life

This is the fourth volume in the author's 'ABC of Life' series, with wide-ranging free-wheeling comments on various matters under the sun, appearing in certain social media and other publications - and now, with many more previously unpublished essays - through which he continues to share his acquired knowledge, ideas, reminiscences, opinions, whimsies, guidance (when sought!) and an occasional jest or two, freely and frankly - all with a view to inform and entertain his readers, hopefully leaving them some residue of value. The theme of this book, 'Dare to be Yourself in Life', covers his generally serious comments and occasionally whimsical explanations of author's experiences in his 87-year old life in four lands. The title and cover essays describe author's journey of discovery of learning to stand on his own feet and be 'self-driven' under unusual circumstances, and most of the time managing to climb the hills he set himself to conquer. Academics and life lesson seekers may find his short and long responses to various concerns, including his favourite questions 'Why?' and 'Why not?', quite worthwhile.
