Overview

This autobiography documents the obstacles he had to overcome, the choices he made, the chances he took and his fascinating journey starting with his dignity of labour from his first job as a helper in an iron nails manufacturing workshop, to the Head of Security of the world's only seven star hotel the Burj Al Arab and to his present day position as Corporate Director of Security & Surveillance of Advani Hotels & Resorts India Ltd. This book is not to be missed and a must read for all Goans and to all those who unfortunately fall in the outsiders category to know the reality of Goa and Goans. This is not a story of sudden success, but of patience and sacrifice. He writes not as a historian, but as a humble witness, a child of the land, seeking to preserve stories, lessons, and lives before they fade. In the end, it is simply the story of a man who refused to forget where he came from.
