In the fascinating first volume of The Indian Mate, Divesh has covered the journey of what India went through from the time of independence and partition, recovering from it, the culture, and what its like to grow up in a middle-class family while going to an upper-class school while trying to work with the best you have got and creating opportunities. He examines what happens when you keep failing but trying, and sometimes remembering he is a young kid, and along the way to starting to dream about Australia as the land of dreams which can change his and his family’s financial future within his lifetime.
He hopes this book gives the lessons he did not get earlier in his life, to show that its possible if you keep having a go at your goals even if it takes a lifetime. Hopefully he can achieve his goal of at least making one life better and helping youngsters to achieve more.
