Reviewed in India on 11 January 2021When you set out to review a book what is the statement expected from you?
Whether you find the book a good read or not?
Okay.This one is a great read.One must read this.This is going to be my favourite book to gift to young people for quite some time.This is an inspiring story but over and above that, it is a contemporary and pragmatic inspiration.Even if you have turned cynic and skeptic,this man is going to restore your faith in goodness.
Though I didn't buy this book for its literary value.That is secondary.I acquired this book to know about how did Mr Sood execute such complex,unwieldy,disproportionately big,scary exercises? I mean I knew I have lessons in the process,the plan and the implementation.The book is exactly what we thought it to be.
A pure narration of what went inside his mind and heart,a clean description of all the sweating and slogging which was required for organising hopelessly cumbersome travels,all the true dedication which systematised and inducted hope in the monstrous despair.
The story of a human heart and a rational mind,a will to do and strong physical state to put up with the enormity of sustained hard work.
It was necessary that the book be written so that people know the real story of perseverance and grit.
Mr Sood's story has been introduced in Andhra Pradesh schools curriculum on ethics.The book should be taught in management schools for authentic lessons in character-building,leadership and execution.And also on truth and reality.
We came to know of this new Sonu Sood against the backdrop of happenings which shook most of us.Most of us cried.There were thousands of people on roads...walking.... because they had become jobless suddenly...Because they had nothing to feed their families.....Because they had no tomorrow......And there was no reason for them to have the audacity to hope that help would be forthcoming...And so they took the desperate decision to walk back home...there was no transport available.
And here was this man, totally translating his kindness into action, converting his resources into outcomes.And deciding to send everyone to their homes.
Most of us know about the rescue missions Mr Sood undertook.Anyone could legitimately get tired of the bureaucratic rigmaroles but that is also one of his many qualities where he is different from most of us. He doesn't resign.
The most divine gift is the gift of hope and Mr Sood distributed plenty of it.Unbelievable,but as the cliche goes,true.
We generally came to know about the rescue missions of sending 'strandees' to their homes-the Ghar Bhejo campaign.These travels were organised across India....On buses,trains and flights...and also from countries like Kyrgyzstan,Uzbekistan,Russia,Australia,Philippines.....To Philippines.....students...patients.....Ilaaj India...Pravasi Rojgar...And his journey continues.....And so do our prayers for Mr Sood's happiness and wellbeing.
Empathy and compassion combined with fortitude and determination can achieve the impossible.He could have sat sending money and cursing the establishment.But he took matters in his hands and did much more than anybody could imagine.
If he is not a messiah then who is?
We all know that it could now turn out that the audience would not accept him as villain in cinemas.Let us see. It would be interesting to find out how real image influences the reel.
I bought three copies of this book.....so far.One ,I had pre-ordered and wrote a review in anticipation.One copy signed by Mr Sood for gifting to a dear friend.And one more signed copy for myself.
I had posted my preview on Mr Sood's FB page for two-three minutes.But I removed my post.Because I found that his visitor posts were full of pleas for succour.So,I decided not to clutter that pious space.
I believe that certain books are not for review.They should be read without question.This is one of them.If Mr Sood thought to record his experience,we must benefit from it.
