Bumpy Roads 3rd Revised & Enhanced Edition

(Glimpses in the meadows of Memory of a Physician)

Dear Sir/Madam,

Bumpy roads is essentially a travelog, but also a travelog through life itself, containing what I hope are universal messages for all readers.

I believe that humanity is a single race and Education is the only way we can prosper in the world & make a difference in society .

We need to focus our youth to build a prosperous society.

With this aim I have written this book in the form of stories in a very simple language .

I have tried to bring home to the student community how to live irrespective of caste , color and creed . Then I have written regarding study skills

Finally as a physician I advise them about smoking, drug abuse and alcoholism - the killers of the human race.

I have also taken the reader on a tour of all the three divisions of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh highlighting their rich culture and glorious past

Preface

Preface:

This book is my view of the many and diverse happenings in my life so far, recorded as clearly as my memory allowed. The music of ink in this book reflects eventful periods of my life-- my real life experiences.

I do not claim to be a reputed author as I am but a humble physician from an average middle-class family. Playing with the strings of my heart, I have tried to compose tunes to resonate with yours.

This book is essentially a travelogue, but also a travelogue through life itself, containing what I hope are universal messages for all readers. I have taken the reader on a tour of all the three divisions of Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh

The chapter “A Narrow escape” in the book highlights how I survived in blast injury. Having lived through the wonderful ways in which my friends rallied round to help me, irrespective of their religion, origin or caste, the warmth of friendship and kindness melted all the masks and barriers in my mind.

I believe in humanity and love with life. Hence I dedicate this work to Global Peace and to the Love of Humanity.

I hope that you enjoy reading this book reaping some benefits from it and also learning some of the lessons it contains, with one goal, the “Love of Humanity”. Friends, we are all mortal and spend a very short time in this world.

Every one of us plays some role here and finally becomes part of the dust.

Let us play our sincere roles and try to make the world a beautiful and better place.
