My book has materialized over many years - thanks to the bandwidth issues and stuff like that :) :). I would say, at least about ~97% of the book is all based on true facts. It was an amazing journey - going back in time, remembering how events shaped up, and through to some funny and not-so-funny happenings. The tone of the book is how I am by design - light-hearted, and not preachy at all.
Siddhant (my fictional name) starts his journey from the National Defence Academy (NDA) and traverses through the adventurous life, with every day at NDA (and IMA thereafter), molding the pliable mind into that of an ideal Officer. Without getting into specifics, Siddhant navigates through the several twists and turns before and after the accident (right up to IIM A); it would suffice to say that the story has elements of Inspiration, Action, Humor, Tragedy, and (ahem!) Romance. I hope everyone enjoys reading it, even more than I did (penning it down).
Regards,
Rajat Mishra
