Writing this book has been nothing short of producing a Bollywood blockbuster—with drama excitement action and of course... a powerful message. And just like in any great movie I wasn’t the only star of the show. First and foremost my salutations and thanks to the Director above who gave me the vision the passion and the ability to bring this book to life. I owe a standing ovation to my family—your love patience and belief in my madness kept me going through every “retake.” You tolerated the late nights the early mornings and my habit of breaking into song or a dialogue while writing about SIPs and mutual funds! Sincere thanks to my ever-blessing mother Subbalakshmy & my incredible wife Gayathri —your prayers have been the silent background score that kept my enthusiasm soaring. I had many “interval” moments of self- doubt during the course of writing this book. Completing it would not have been possible without your unwavering faith and encouragement that gave me the strength during every rewrite & every brainstorm and those moments of self-doubt. To my young & amazing daughter Srinidhi—thank you for being both my script supervisor and dialogue coach! Your meticulous proofreading of the Hindi dialogues your sharp eye for grammar and your patience to check & re-check how each “scene” (dialogue / song) links to the concepts of investing has made this book better. You made sure every page made sense and felt just right. I feel like calling you my co-producer on this journey. To my industry colleagues and friends thank you for your invaluable guidance. Your constant support gave me the confidence to put it all into words—with a little Bollywood tadka of course. To my readers—you’re the real heroes of this story.
