About The Book -It is hard to beat a person who never gives up! - Babe Ruth -Autobiography - An Account of a person's life and as written by that person! This is my 33rd book - and after 6 books on Arab Management, 3 on Road Safety, 2 prior of this on My Autobiography (The Story of My Life!) - 12 on my Columns Writings 'Between Us Only!' and 'At My Workplace!' and the rest on assorted topics! The book is a bird's eye view all about me from my all varied articles to date! If one wants to write my Obituary then there is no place to start than from this book - but not forgetting reading the other books as well! I apologise in advance - as I do feel I may have missed out in some articles. But writing my Bibliography, this book will go 90% in doing the work! The articles produced here are in main part linked to me as Majid aka as Magic - Magic Man as the pseudonym I used in 'The Forums'! Also interestingly the article - Why Do They Call You Magic? Also Who Is Majid? And My Epitaph! The articles are also about My Family and My Late Parents - Peace Be Upon Them! There are several bits and pieces spread out in my other 28 books where they could also come here - but then the book will be very big in size and in contents! I hope you will like reading about me! People were always asking me - Why don't you write a book about yourself? The story of your life? I then decided to accept the challenge and write this book. Like the other books - I have tried to be as factual as possible - and with my usual style of writing of speaking to you directly from my heart - and to be as sincere, genuine, frank, forthright as possible - so that this book can not only be used in Research works - but as a Guide and Beacon for the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren - and future generations by the Grace of Allah God - Ameen Amen.
