This story is about a man called Ramesh and his greed for money. Ramesh lives in a remote village. His father is a farmer who earns little. Since his childhood, Ramesh hated being poor. Things take a turn when his father dies. He owes his father’s death to their extreme poverty. His father’s death forces him to leave everything behind in search for money. Soon he is a well-known businessman. But the increasing wealth makes him more and more greedy. He becomes a cruel and atrocious man. But as he grows older he realizes nothing lasts forever. He tries to change but it was too late for him. Through the story, the author has emphasized how to remain happy in most adverse situations, how to fight with our biggest enemy that is us and how to attain the much longing state of “nirvana”.

Awesome book, it can be helpful for teenagers, adults and even old age people. In the initial half there is a very nice story which makes the reader realise that it is never too late for a postive change but with the fact that the later you realise the lesser you are left with the treasure of contentment and happiness. Later half of the book is even more impressive and tells many secrets of happy life. The author has emphasised that even Deep pain and agony makes us realise the importance of piece as well as makes us more sympathetic towards others moreover teaches us lessons that no body can teach provided we keep our minds open and are ready to accept changes. This book can delight young minds if it becomes part of curriculum. Needs to be translated in other languages also. Congratulations to author on such a nice creation.

An amazing tale of greed and it's everlasting hold upon the human body, this story provides a stoic account of how the materialistic nature of humanity consumes us. A must read for everyone. Each one of us will relate to one or the other aspect of ramesh's life, and will help us to gain insights as to what really matters in the end. The true riches of life are in the places rarely searched.

Brilliant one. The author has provided a realistic insight into how man's search for means to satisfy his greed results in his undoing. Being happy and learning to enjoy life as it unravels is essential. The prize in life is the journey itself and not the achievements others see.
