To caffeine and burger, my companions through many a long night of writing! ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Nothing depends only on my one action. There are thousands of energy crossing and interacting with each other. The total of the energy will decide the outcome. How can I alone decide the outcome? But if I don’t do anything then things may never be the same. I’ve to do and yet I’ve to learn not to expect. Then doing is a kind of prayer. There is no desire that the result should be such and such. Then there is no frustration. Trust will help you to remain happy. Most special thanks to my mom dad, ‘Manju-Nathmal Bhandari’ for being the strongest wall, protecting against the traditional, hypocritical Marwari societies. I would like to mention the remarkable thanks to my uncles: ‘Kishan Bhandari & Kamal Bhandari’ and my other family members, for giving me freedom to follow my guts and crazy ideas. ‘CA Hemant C. Lodha’ for being the constant source of inspiration and someone to look forward every time and every day. ‘Sushil Punwatkar Sir,’ for being my ‘Guru,’ easy to findGod difficult to find ‘Guru’. He is the creator of whatever I’m today (of course for Good stuffs only, bad ones are all by me). Before I learned to believe in myself, he did and with his vision I’ve moved this far. I’m lucky and blessed to have ‘Pravin Joshi Sir,’ Director NAEMD and ‘Kavita Agarwal Mam,’ Centre Head Ahmedabad for substantially supporting my passion with the studies. ‘Sidharth Bhandari Sir’ for enlightening the inner spark to go further my edge and his significant insights proved to be a landmark towards the increase of readership. viii Acknowledgement Any work of me would be incomplete without accrediting ‘Vishal Taank,’ my close friend, classmate, roommate, companion, the one who eat the other half of my Subway. His exceptional patience, extraordinary perseverance, and excellent principles have shaped me for a better me. ‘Sarthak Bhandari’ for the unshakable faith in my Work and sincere support all the time. ‘Manish Bhandari’ & ‘Shrenik Kothari’ for enlightening me with different approaches to the same wall. I’m more than a proud to call her my biggest fan and friend; she is the reason I’ve been able to cross the mark of 1251 Quotations before reaching the age of 21. It wasn’t easy for her to maintain my enthusiasm each day, but who can beat her Motivation and undying spirit! One of my special and very dear friend, ‘Himani Gupta,’ Books to her! (Cheers!) ‘Madhu Hotwani’ for being the real critic and honest friend, her ideas and encouragement has supported me in every Quote and articles I’ve ever written. ‘Seema Sahu and Shaifali Agrawal’ for helping me to finalize the creative parts, covers and designs. But for most, listening to me, when I talk consistently about the book, Hats off to your patience! I would like to show my gratitude to ‘Ankita Golhani’ for being patience again, with my grammatical errors and for doing her best editing, again. ‘Sagar Gandhi’ for keeping my inner child alive, ‘Himanshu Garg’ for being my fastest source of mass communication! And being the stress buster at times! ‘Nikita Shewani,’ my Treasure! No more required! I would like to pay my regards to ‘Eklavya Education Foundation: Sunil Handa’ for helping me with the stories and ‘The Book Bakers: Suhail Mathur’ for guiding me with the publication and marketing. And lastly I wish to present my special thanks to few people for not believing in me, because of them I learned to believe in myself, vigorously and rigidly. PREFACE “If you don’t see the book you want on the shelf, write it.” I’m lucky to do it again. *Chuckles* “Naked Wisdom of the Child” This Book is all about experiences, experiences that make a boy, man. Experiences that turned into the formidable pages of the book. Some experience will be an admiration, some will be life lessons, some to think high, some to laugh with and some to cherish lifelong. This is not just another self-help, or motivational genre book, this piece of literature will heal the reader’s wound given by the great storytellers. This is purely what I’ve learned so far in my life, and what I can offer you to think. Socrates says, “I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.” Yes, that’s the motto of the book, to make you think more, to help you to restructure your thoughts. Thoughts are the cells that build your life. No one is meant to do any evil things, but certain things happen in the course of life which we do not appreciate. What best we can do is to learn from the situation and let go of it. No one is the perfect person; I just want you to know the reason to start over new. And the reason is you. It’s your life, and it matters. It’s all about experiences, experiences which do not expire with transit of time. Experiences which will be engraved for centuries and more, in the form of literature, in the form of artwork, in the form of love. x Preface Doing anything extraordinary requires efforts, patience, creativity, courage, vision, moral, inspiration, experience and discipline. Here is the Secret of the extraordinary work. Treat your work like it’s your baby, your fortune. Feed 24*7, 365 days for hundreds of years. Consistently nurture and nourish it, babysit all the time. It will Cry, it will scream, and it will poop too, but be patience to wipe up the mess and try again harder. Do not quit if it cries every night. Love more, irrespective of how messy, desperate, and time taking it is. That is how you make impossible things possible. Believe in yourself and keep on loving unconditionally, irreversibly and unadulterated. That is how you achieve your goal; that is how you make the extraordinary. It’s that easy and that hard. “Sometimes it does not work out the way you want, Sometimes the bud doesn’t bloom, no matter which season it is, Sometimes it requires more than a good rain to turn into a rose, Sometimes it needs a little kiss. Sometimes that’s all it needs.” Disclaimer: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” #Ecclesiastes 1:9 MY PRINCIPLE OF LIFE Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. #John Lennon Forward: In this section you might find the Quotations which make you happy as it says, “It’s all about being happy.” 2 Naked Wisdom of the Child Being happy makes people happier. Meaning Everyone loves to be happy; everyone loves to make others happy. Do it. Share your Nutella. Story One day, I hopped into a taxi and took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly, a black car, jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
