We all make mistakes in life and suffer, but some make more than others and some suffer more than deserving, ironically for being right as well. Don’t fail to gain this valuable insight in this book, Faridabad to Farmington - A Fifty Year Journey , wherein a delivery executive with a technology consulting company shares his life story in India and the United States of America, raises thought-provoking questions about career and relationship, and offers self-realizations and lessons he’s learned the hard way - so you don’t have to.
Faridabad to Farmington - A Fifty Year Journey relates the real life story of its author, Kumaar Babban, 55, a man who was born, raised, and educated in India. He lived in India for forty years and is settled in the United States for fifteen plus years. Exhausted and saddened by his tough and unfortunate life in India, where he suffered enormous troubles, failures, and rejections in career and friendship, he came to the United States for better life but his struggles and sufferings only got worse here. Anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, who deserves more but settles for less, who works hard but isn’t proportionately compensated, and who showers care and affection on friends and colleagues but suffers from deceit, mistrust, and rejections in return would be able to relate to Kumaar Babban’s sufferings very well.
Faridabad to Farmington - A Fifty Year Journey spans some fifty years of Kumaar Babban’s life - from his childhood in a small village in India to the challenges of his engineering education there and from his career challenges in India to the same in the United States. He emphasizes his limitations and mistakes that caused him excessive failures and sufferings in career and friendship and raises provocative questions and lessons relating to caste based social and education system in India, racial discrimination at work in the United States, unique career challenges he faced, and catastrophic and heart wrenching troubles he had in friendship. He tried very hard to perform well at work but fell short of the mark and was fired from several jobs. He cared a lot for friends and colleagues but he suffered deceit, mistrust, and rejections from them. His friends mischievously betrayed him, led him to the biggest storm of his life, and ditched him in the middle of that storm. He loved his family most but, in the midst of troubles in career and friendship, he neglected them, which leaves him with lifetime regrets.
Kumaar Babban has learned a great deal through his failures and mistakes. With his straight talking memoir, he speaks frankly about the numerous rejections, discriminations, failures, and regrets that have plagued his life journey all throughout leading to chilling self-realizations and lessons learned. He also offers his thoughtful reflections on experiences and mistakes he has made and the lessons he has learned with the hope that you can benefit from his life’s journey and learn a few things that, when applied to your own life, will help you steer clear of the same painful pitfalls.
