A Bumpy Ride: Chasing a Dream

Ralph, the boy with a dream, is not aware that his determination will be tested to its limits. The early thrills do not give him a clue of what's in store. Just when he thinks he's got it all under control he nearly hits rock bottom. He is about to pack his bags when experienced elders put sense into him, and he begins to see that there might be light at the end of the tunnel. Only later, some years into his adult life, he seems to have sussed out that it's not all hunky-dory and that possibly it might be a case of 'the enemy within'. It still hasn't sunk into him that it's not about fair play but about a different sort of a game. Are there no rules to play by, or can some always play foul? Ralph unravels this mind-blowing tale of uncertainties and of life at the cross-roads in absorbing descriptions. 'The story is a gripping tale of human endeavour and survival,' says an experienced Indian psychologist. 'The situations described,' says an American journalist, 'offer guideposts to Managers floundering at the deep end of decision-making.' 'It's a double-decker inspirational package for training,' says a British educationist.
