New Delhi [India], November 28: Amitabh Bachchan, India's all time iconic movie star, stated after an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, "What a moment to have met and learn the real-life story of "I want to talk' with Arjun. One may lose, but it's the strength to continue that registers success."
ABOUT THE BOOK: IN THE AUTHOR'S OWN WORDS
"I was running fast in the corporate world. Promotions and raises defined my life. Then came a moment when I got the biggest wakeup call in life, when my eight-year-old daughter, Raka, told me that I did not know her. I thought it was a dare, I thought it was a challenge. Initially I did not get it, how much pain a daughter feels when she lives every day experiencing that emotion.
That one moment shook my world. I realized that each one of us has the same 24 hours in a day. I was stealing time from my family and my future, to invest in my corporate career growth. I was truly a corporate workaholic. But even in a moment like this, I was amazed to see that my daughter had not given up on her nearly absent father.
I sat quietly that night and I realized the path I was on, my father-daughter future will get reduced to obligatory phone calls on birthdays and Father's Day. I decided to make this wake-up call count and chose to quit the corporate world. I started a marketing consulting company from my basement in Denver and began the real journey of becoming a true father. I had one mantra, "just be present." The more I was present, the more I realized the magnitude of pain I had caused my daughter. The journey back was not a quick fix but a lifetime commitment.
"The book is a reflection of me getting lost as a dad and my daughter rescuing me and putting our relationship back on track. Initially, I titled the book Raising a Daughter. But then, I realized who raised who and changed the title to Raising a Father. Today, thanks to Raka, I feel more balanced in life, appreciate life more and proudly introduce myself as a father first." Arjun explains.
