The idea of writing a book which would tell the stories from my life beginning from a village in India to becoming a Professor of Neurosurgery with the basic MBBS degree and a Master's degree in surgery obtained in Agra, India and then having higher neurosurgical training at elite neurosurgical departments in England and attaining Fellowships of Royal Colleges of Surgeons qualifications to become accredited in the UK as a fully trained neurosurgeon. The journey till here needed considerable sacrifice and overcoming several obstacles such as leaving my home in India as well as my parents, grandfather, brothers and sisters and close friends. It also required ingenuity, adapting to different culture, climate and working environment after leaving the cosy life as a child among my well-to-do extended family.
My aim in writing stories from my life as a memoir shows that with will power, persistence, knowledge, ingenuity and moral integrity how a village boy from India achieved a life-long ambition to become a Professor of Neurosurgery and helped thousands of patients and has continued, even in 2023, at the age of 82 years to work towards helping injured patients due to accident or due to clinical negligence to get adequate monetary compensation through English justice system which has many flaws and limitations still in 2023. I also believe that as my life story begins at the era of Quit India movement of 1942 and continues through major socio-economic changes during the post-independence period and then further through my life journey in England, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, it will be useful to other people to read about my experiences. In these books I have also depicted the changes in Indian economic, structural and societal changes that has happened in previous 80 years.
There are numerous stories of innovations in saving lives and limbs by learning and use of evolving modern neurosurgical techniques and technology where I have not only described the life-changing events of several neurosurgical patients with use of modern technique and technology in various divergent countries, but have also depicted the social, economic and cultural aspect of life in these diverse countries and the courage and fortitude of numerous of my patients when faced with life-changing diseases.
