Ki dana khak me mil kar gul-e-gulzar hota hai’
Destroy your entire existence if you want to reach the

11. ‘The Flying Sikh’ made us realize that ‘where
there is determination there is success.’
Reading about his life, from a village
Muzzafargar (now in Pakistan) to what he is
today brought goose bumps and shivers
through our spine. His dedication and sacrifice
lead him to achieve the comment ‘Tum
bhagey nahi udhey ho’ at Pakistan by General
Ayub Khan. He made us realize that there are
no shortcut to success and sacrifices always
gives a sweet fruit at some point of life
