He calls his endeavour, the teacher of the streets. He invites his fellow men to act as he does. He has spread the message in remote districts of India, places where political interference is the least. According to me, his motto is, I go where political leaders fear to tread.
This is the story of Deep Narayan Nayak.
"Light Inspired" masterfully intertwines biography and fiction to craft a compelling motivational narrative. The protagonist's journey from adversity to triumph is both inspiring and relatable, with vivid storytelling that captures the essence of perseverance. The novel blends real-life struggles with fictional elements to highlight universal truths about determination and hope. This book is not just a story but a guide for anyone seeking motivation to overcome life's challenges. It is a must-read for those in need of a reminder that resilience can lead to extraordinary achievements.
The book is well crafted with a mix of history geography and science. Good life lessons to boot. I also love the way the author (his didi) contrasts herself from Deepu at every stage. Strongly recommend Light Inspired

I think this style will appeal to many other readers.
The lines stay with you long after

It is worth reading and I am planning to read out excerpts from its pages to my students in the coming session. Let’s see what they have to say …
