Excerpt from chapter 4: ORIGIN OF HIS HOBBY
....
Two young girls, one plump and the other slender, living in the apartment across the lane never missed to practice health exercise and yoga demonstrated in the television program every morning. Health conscious comely girls stretched their figures, on the exercising machines, in different enchanting angles, to tone up their body, joints and muscles. Michael got up regularly before dawn, and he too never missed to peep at the body bending, revealing different feminine curves, both bony and fleshy. He removed the parallax of the lenses of the binoculars, focusing them at the chicken and goat.
Katherine always tried to suppress her yawn, when Robert took her in arms and sang the romantic song; and danced year after year, considering himself an incarnated version of Michael Jackson,
Sweet n spicy, tasty n nasty wife,
Pull her near and enjoy your life.
As you sow, so you reap
And others sow, never peep.
Oho, never peep, Aha, never peep.
Hui, hui, never peep.
No one ever understood child psychology. When someone said, ‘don’t eat, it eats, don’t beat, it beats. You say, don’t cry, it cries, don’t try, it tries.’ And Robert hammered through his lyrics, never peep, never peep, Michael who was yet a child, his natural reaction was, he started peeping.

Excerpt from Chapter 23: KING OF SENSES
Michael and Bobbi visited Linda beach frequently, as they liked its clean and quiet surrounding. They walked on the zigzag line where water licked sand and stone. They sat on the sand to draw obscene sketches with their index fingers and fought to wipe them out. Running behind the ducks, Bobbi imitated ‘quack quack’ of the birds. And he imitated running behind her. It was a sheer pleasure.
Michael and Bobbi tossed stones into the stagnant water at the small bay of the river. Both were amused to see the circular ripples grow and slowly merge with one another. The ripples of love sprouting from their hearts too were growing and mingling in the same fashion.
They were walking in the flowing water. While she lost her balance, on the moss-ridden slippery surface of pebbles, Michael tried to control her from falling, by holding at different places. And both went out of control. None could be in command of the 'control', when someone becomes uncontrollably decontrolled. The reason could either be the slippery surface, or slippery face.
Bobbi holding Michael's arm, exclaimed, "Look Mike, look at these lovely fish. I feel like picking and pampering them. The golden fishes, silvery fishes, why do they look so beautiful?"
Michael replied in a mischievous tone, “’Cause they don’t put on clothes!”
She ran towards the sandy beach with a laugh, trying to save her clothes from the grip of Michael, yet deliberately stumbling to shorten the distance. And the next sequence of events was literally similar to the words of Oscar Wilde, ‘Woman begins by resisting a man’s advance and ends by blocking his retreat.’ One hundred salutes to Oscar Wilde

Chapter VI: THE FIRST STEP
....
'I shall grab the opportunity, when it'll knock at my door', is the outdated stale phrase. Now it’s our turn to seek and find the opportunity and knock at its door.
'Unless I be an expert swimmer, I won’t put my foot in the water.’ With such type of approach, do you think, anybody can learn swimming in his lifetime? If we keep waiting for just the right expertise or right opportunity, we may never begin.
The first step is always difficult and needs the nerve and courage. Generally people proclaim that they have the faith in God. If it is so, why don't they have the necessary courage? Are they not aware that God has taken care of incorporating white blood corpuscles to make you immune and protect you from the changes in weather or the attacks of germs or viruses? And if you put the step forward with the faith and courage, do you think, He hasn't impregnated the strength to accomplish your goal, and wouldn't come to your rescue if efforts seem to go wrong?
The most auspicious moment or an appropriate age to begin a new work is, when our driving force, an impetus is at its peak.

Chapter XVII: REVIEW
....
Periodical review is of utmost importance. We can rearrange priorities, refine the methods, redefine the modus operandi.
If you honestly review the output, an eternal truth shall emerge. The creation of wealth, as well as success, is directly proportional to merely two words, ‘I CAN, and CAN I?
Had those words been ‘I CAN’, you have marveled, as these two words indicate firmness, courage, passion, guts and determination. And had they been ‘CAN I?’, then you have poorly performed, as these two words denote doubt, cowardice, timidity and avoidance.
When we go for trekking, we look down the hill, how much distance we have covered. We look ahead how much is yet to traverse. We calculate the time spent, the efforts put, the risks taken and the mistakes committed. This review acts as a guideline for reaching to the summit.
