The world is run through hope. Everyday, we go to sleep in hope that we will wake up in the morning. We buy a ticket to the lottery in the hope of winning something. This book is little about that and a little beyond it. It is about hope of willingness to live and to do something more in life. A ray of hope that decided not to fade away even when it was taken away by force. I dedicate this book to my little girl, Aarushi, who is rightly named. It revolves around her life, her soul and her journey. It's a story about a little girl who had a brave warrior inside her, which unleashed every time when life went hard on her. I want her to become a source of inspiration to anyone out there, who thinks they cannot do certain things because life is too tough. Our lives completely changed since the day she was born. It is more than just her academic achievements and the curriculars. I want her to be remembered as the charming, bubbly and smart girl as she was. This is my way of giving a tribute and honoring my daughter, Aarushi.
