#6 Book Review: Katihar To Kennedy, The Road Less Travelled by Sanjay Kumar

We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.

If we all sit for a while and look back into our live’s the above lines you will find very relatable. While walking through the life journey of the Author, I felt the same nostalgic endurance. Our own stories surprises often, that how we dared to walk this far off, loosing and winning various battles, almost all of them with ourselves. The Author is no Bollywood superstar, whose fate has changed overnight. He is one of amongst us. Hailing from small town called Katihar, in Bihar and at times giving up and then picking up again on his bigger aspirations and goals in life. Bihar is a state where till date the growth prospects are measured by education and qualifications. Likewise, the author has only one strong aid to move ahead in life and that was education. Breaking the conventional fields, which is being followed in Bihar of opting Science as subject, the author chooses Political Science to pursue his studies further. Our choice can only create an impact, if we are confident enough to be consistent with them and leave no pages unturned. And that’s what the Author’s educational facade of life inspires us. Along with his own journey, the author as well has successfully escalated the weak and unnoticed education system and infrastructure of our country, which leaves one to introspect the role of Government and as a responsible citizen, what we have given back to at least our school’s and colleges where we grew up from being ignorant to an individual with defined visions and views.

My pick from the book: Education is the key. It is the only tool which can bring about intra-generational change.
