About the Book:

The transition phase from childhood to adulthood is the golden age of our lives; it's the age of innocence, love and joy. But a young adult is not just a child anymore; they are not just students or playmates. Young adults, across the world, are actively participating in various fields as artists, writers, singers, sportspeople, activists, entrepreneurs and leaders, some from the comforts of their homes, while others on the global stage.

Yes, they still dream of a world where fairies, witches, wizards, dragons, pokemons, their favourite cartoon characters and superheroes are real. But they also envision a world with genuine love, truth, peace, happiness and equality; not just for human beings, but for all beings and nature. Young adults are indeed the father of the man, aren't they?

“The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation.”

- Pearl S. Buck, American writer and novelist.

"The youth need to be enabled to become job generators from job seekers." - Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India.
