Vijay deliberates on the importance of keeping promises, living life with integrity and having the conviction to standing up to principles. The author hopes that the reader will find parallels in this book they can relate to, seek solace in and learn from. Vijay continues to be amazed at the never-ending opportunities life throws up for new beginnings and wishes you, dear reader, luck with your voyages.
