A Must Read for CSE aspirants ✅
The book written by Surendra Mohan IRS has elucidated fantastic display of courage and determination shown by Lead character Mohan under extreme severe circumstances of poverty, small town educational infrastructure. There were several instances where a normal boy could have left and lost in the abject poverty, isolation, loneliness, low self esteem, but Mohan has shown grit and determination to Excel in his life to establish that “no one can stand between a boy and his dream to achieve it if he works hard under any adversity”.All I can say is “ it is a must read book for village, poor boy aspiring to achieve something which is extreme rare event like cracking Prestigious Civil Service Exam”.

Superbly inspirational real life story that’s a mustread
IRS Surendra Mohan shares his life story to show young generation how much dedication life demands to overcome struggles in the way of desired success, with his book ‘Courage to dream’. From the pco worker boy Mohan turned into an IRS officer not with some overnight magic but by day to day hardships, firm determination, and exemplary dedication ignoring materialistic pleasures of life that provoke one time to time to deviate. His family members too sacrificed a lot to support his dream. Being hellbent, Mohan didn’t flinch from facing hard tackles of failure and unsupportive situation of poverty. When at last he was awarded with success, there was a lot that time had snatched away from him but he never gave away his hope. Read this awesome journey that demands the attention of younger generation. I personally gulped this pageturner in just one sitting and was thrilled to discover this true inspirational life story that presents us the success mantra in today’s life. I am sure there are many like Mohan who will start to dream after reading this one.
