1. Preface to Spandane – My Tips, Views and Observations
Friends, having read Autobiography, you must have fairly understood my personality. My
childhood played crucial role in my personal development. My childhood circumstances
made me stronger, go getter, having absolute faith on efforts (Karma) and a disciplined
person. I became more aggressive, meticulous in my approach, developed strong attitude,
developed high likes and dislikes etc. I developed the rational approach ‘to look at the world
with a magnifying glass of a mind’. I took almost all decision by ‘Brain’ and not by ‘heart’.
With the result, people took longer time to understand me as a person. ‘To share the secret
that I enjoy my own company.’
I am not a social animal. I am comfortable in a small group of like minded persons, though
I can get along with groups of diversified nature for a limited time-span, purely on my so
called ‘professional approach.’ This skill has been specifically developed by me. Jokingly,
I have named this as a ‘suffocating meter technique’.
You may be surprised with all this discussion in the Preface. I just wish to drive the point that
due to this type of peculiar mindset, one is bound to have some views, observations etc. on
various issues.
I have always looked at grass root of any problem and having found one, I would draft Tips
to counter the problem. My experience as a counsellor, indirectly forced me to document my
Thoughts, Tips, Views. I have also shared my personal experience in these Tips, Views and
Observations. I am confident that this section would give a new dimension to my
Autobiography.
I am hopeful that this book would certainly induce the readers to rethink on these subjects
and cross verify their ideas. It is quite likely that you may have similar views. At times you
may disagree with me. It is natural, but please bear in mind that this book is the outcome of
my childhood & Life experience. Let us agree to disagree.
Best wishes to all.
