SOMETIMES, REALIZATIONS HAPPEN VERY LATE
IN LIFE....., WHEN THEY DO HAPPEN.
AND SOME PEOPLE MAY NEVER REALIZE
ANYTHING AT ALL THROUGHOUT LIFE!

In the author's humble understanding so far, learning happens through specific realizations,
which generally don't schedule or announce their arrival in advance. "Aha moments" and
epiphanies occur suddenly, when you least expect them. Situations, events and experiences
are fertile grounds for such learning at the grassroots. Thus, this is not just a book, it is a
reflection of distilled experiences that are condensed into personalized "axioms",
experiences gathered over the years by the author in his corporate and personal life. The
narrative which showcases the "realizations" gathered by the experiences and incidents
may appear satirical at times, and perhaps occasionally humorous, but the intention is to
provoke thoughts in the mind of the reader. Thoughts and feelings occur at random,
triggered by events, incidents and situations. Hence the collection and representation of
these "axioms" reflecting those experiences are spread randomly over approximately 150
items, punctuated by cartoons now and then. This book has taken the author almost 15
years to compile and the reason is the patient gathering and accumulation of the "axioms"
through various life events and experiences. The collection of "axioms" listed in the book
may have simple practical connotations that could be put to use in different life situations,
both in the personal realm and professional arena. It is up-to the reader to decide how to
use any of them, if at all.
Happy reading!
