Some of the greatest investments in life can never be measured in money.

Every child grows up with a story. Some take years to understand their own.

In this deeply personal memoir, Prokrit Ghosh looks back on a childhood shaped by separation, uncertainty, and the determination of a mother who wanted her children to have a better future. From his early years in West Bengal to a new beginning in Bombay, he reflects on the people, experiences, and moments that helped shape the person he is becoming.

At its heart, this is a tribute to a mother's courage and the sacrifices that children may not fully understand until they grow older. It is also a reflection on family, belonging, unanswered questions, and the love and support that guide us through life.

A story about a mother's love, two children's future, and an investment whose true value can never be counted on a balance sheet.
