I found this letter while I was cleaning my hard disk. I wrote it years back when I was an idiot kid. Now it reads so funny. Sharing it with you as now it holds no value as such to me. But its a good read I guess. I am not proofreading it, so do not mind the bad grammar.  My Dear woman, I was reading a book lately and it was the autobiography of Isaac Asimov and so delightful its reading was that I decided to choose writing as a part of my career, discussion of which I will do later. However an instance in the book did attract my attention and has refused to disappear from my memory, quoting which I will start my letter to you. “During the early days of struggle of Isaac Asimov, he was a very difficult writer to deal with and he believed that a good writing always comprises of difficult vocabulary and complex plots.

If you have to go to Delhi from Mumbai, you reach ticket counter at Mumbai airport and ask for a ticket –what would you say.. I want to go to somewhere please give me a ticket. Do you think she would be able to give you ticket? No she won’t. You have to specify her where you want to go and only then you can be given tickets to go there. You have to tell her that.

There is a definite way to become rich and no matter how much you doubt it, it works irrespective of the fact what you think about it. There is an exact science for everything, there are exact ways in which this world works so there has to be a science behind getting rich too. There is a reason why people like Steve jobs, Donald trump, Jordan Belford, who were once rich, becomes bankrupt and get millionaire again within no time. They know something which most people don’t. I am not going to discuss elaborately everything about becoming rich, but only one, and that one makes all the difference and it is the one that sums everything up. The idea was known to every rich man for ages, Walter Wallace mentions it in his book science of getting rich and  Napoleon Hill talks about it in his bestseller “Think and grow rich” and is also the basis for the documentary 'The Secret' which sold millions since its debut. The thing that can make your rich is you. Hmm. You mu...

I didn't understand magic until I started doing it. I started doing it because i had to do something to gather the attention of people around me. Initially how i started was by reading books on it. I downloaded all the books that i could download on the internet and transferred it to my iPad. I read few of them and they literally changed my perception of  Magic from merely a gimmick and lost art to something that one could apply in real life to get miraculous results. Magic is everywhere and we witness it everyday, we juts don't notice it.
