Introduction

"I t was the darkest time in the history of humanity.

Daughters were getting raped in front of fathers, mothers were watching helplessly while their sons were getting beheaded and burnt alive and the people who once were living together in peace were killing each other madly."

That was the description my grandfather used to give me of 1947 – The year India got independence from 150 years old British rule.

No matter how many times he started the story but could never finish it as his throat always became heavy and his eyes teary.

And then he would put his hands on his ears like he was trying to get rid of those blood chilling screams which he could hear clearly even after decades.

India got the independence but also paid a big price for it and was divided in two parts.

There was a mass migration of some 10 million people between India and newly born Pakistan.

My grandfather’s was one of those families who suddenly found that they were in Pakistan now and had to migrate to India in 1947.

As expected, such a huge forced migration brought religious riots and a lot of fighting and killing. A rough estimation is that one million civilians died in those riots.

I was, of course, not born yet. Even my father was born three years after this, but my grandfather and my uncles had seen all that bloodshed.

All this to explain one simple story my grandfather told me.

It was the last day my family was in Pakistan.

The rumor had spread that the mob was soon going to attack the village in Pakistan where my grandparents were living.

My grandfather knew that if they didn’t leave the village and move to India soon, they would not be alive for long. So he decided to leave the village on that same day. He had only a couple of carts with each cart being pulled by two white bulls. Because the whole family was going to travel all the way to India, a few hundred kilometers, on those two carts, he asked everyone to pack only the essential things.

He locked the home with teary eyes and just when everybody was ready to move and leave the village forever, my grandmother went missing.

My uncles and aunts, who were just teenagers at that time, along with my grandfather searched everywhere, asked everyone but my grandmother was nowhere to be found.

Finally my grandfather went inside the home again. And there she was. Sitting and crying inside her kitchen.

What are you doing here, everyone is looking for you. he said.

I don’t want to leave. This is my house. she replied.

Have you not understood? If we stay here, we all will be killed soon. he explained.

But she did not move.

Being a wise man, my grandfather quickly understood her emotions.

It was not that she was not afraid of mob or death. She was, but she was more afraid of moving to a new unknown place.

She had married my grandfather when she was 16 years old and since then she had been living in this home. This kitchen was all she had seen in her life.

This was the place she has spent years. This was the place she had cooked all her life and watched her children grow up in.

And now suddenly, she was asked to move to a new place in a new country.

Even when my grandfather explained her that if they stayed, they would be killed and that it was literally a choice between life and death now, my grandmother did not want to leave that place.

It took a long time for him to convince her to move. And finally they left for India where she lived a long and extremely happy life.

The majority of us are exactly like my grandmother.

Even if we know that the situation we are in is not the best one for us; we refuse to move on.

At least 99% percent of the people I know are unhappy with their jobs.

They don’t miss any chance to complain about the 9 to 5 schedule and or about the quantity of the work they have to do or about the ambience in their office. They complain about how they hate their boss and how the company they work for is not giving them what they deserve.

But that’s all they do – complain. I know it because I used to be one of them.

Let me ask you a few questions - Do you like living paycheck to paycheck and weekend to weekend?

Do you worry that this month you won’t be able to pay all the bills and does it happen often?

Do you set the alarm every night because you worry about not being able to wake up next morning on time and being late for work?

Do you think your boss is being unfair to you?

Do you worry that you won’t be able to pay for your children’s education?

Do you think that your life could be better?

Do you worry that a day will come when people will start disliking you?

Do you worry that the society may tag you as a failure?

Are you unhappy and unsatisfied with your looks?

Do you want to lose weight and build that six pack abs?

Do you worry that one day you will die and there will be no legacy left of you?

Well if you have answered yes to even one of the above questions, you are not free, at least not completely. And if you have answered yes to even one of the above questions, this book is for you.

Imagine a life without all these worries. A life where you work just for fulfillment of your passions and not to survive financially.

Imagine having a life full of wealth and health that allows you to enjoy that wealth. And now imagine everyone else around you enjoying the same privileges: a world full of happy, satisfied people.

Living the life you wanted and living your dream every single day.

Yes, it is possible. And I know that from personal experience.

When our parent’s generation was young, there was a simple plan that led to success: get a university degree, get a job (preferably a government one, but any would do), get paid a decent salary until you retire, enjoy your pension until you die.

I wish I could tell you things are as simple now but you know they are not.

Getting a job these days cannot be taken for granted, even with a prestigious university degree. Unemployment rates, especially for people in their 20s and 30s are higher than ever. Of course, landing a government job is even harder. As for pension, you can just forget about it.

Even if you manage to get a job, with today’s salaries you cannot expect to create a real wealth for yourself, unless you are a CEO or CFO of a Fortune 500 company.

In case you did not realize, the era of a single source of income is long gone. Having multiple streams of income is not a matter of choice any more.

Last year when I was near Delhi airport, I saw several new buildings and bridges on Delhi-Gurgaon border.

I had worked in Gurgaon city for a couple of years and the road I was crossing used to be filled with traffic jams but now the road was much wider and traffic was moving smoothly. I mentioned it to my driver
