The Forgotten Pillar is a poignant, emotionally resonant novel that explores the life of Vikram Rao—a man who once stood at the pinnacle of success, now fading into obscurity with quiet grace. Once a celebrated CEO of a global tech empire, Vikram now lives in a decaying Dadar chawl, miles away from the acclaim he once commanded.

Estranged from his family and long divorced, Vikram bears the weight of invisible sacrifices—none more haunting than selling a kidney to fund his daughter's foreign education, a truth she may never discover. Though time has taken his health and wealth, it has not dimmed his sense of duty. He continues to send maintenance payments, keeps his silence, and lives with the unwavering resolve of a man who once carried the dreams of others on his shoulders.

In this tender meditation on unspoken love and uncelebrated sacrifice, The Forgotten Pillar reveals the quiet courage of those who build legacies they’re never thanked for. Through Vikram’s fading footsteps, the novel becomes a tribute to the unsung fathers, mentors, and silent architects of our lives—men whose strength becomes our foundation.

For the fathers who stood behind, so others could rise.
For the builders of dreams they’d never inhabit.
