DO NOT EVEN GIVE IT THE FORM OF A MISSILE
AS IT CLINGS TO THE BURNING PRIDE OF THIS NATION AND THUS IS
BRIGHT

 MY CONCLUSION
 I CONCLUDE THAT THIS BOOK CONTAINS
EVERYTHING WHAT DOES A READER NEEDS TO
READ THE BOOK
 I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE STUDENTS
AND THE YOUTH TO READ THE BOOK ATLEAST ONCE
 THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THE BOOK IS
“WE CAN DO AND WE CAN DO FROM INDIA”
 THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR SELF-PRAISE OR PERSONAL
FEAT BUT ABOUT A PERSON WHO HAD THE FIRE IN
HIM TO GIVE HIS DREAMS – “WINGS TO FLY”
