On Paths of Life (An Autobiography) by Puran Singh first published in 1927.

Thus this book is an attempt to relive back in the infancy, in dreams of youth and forget the calculations and plans of an experienced and tired intellect. The joys of life are the only realities.
And the opening of a bud, in the garden, the blossoming of youth are soul absorbing topics for ever and for all—both for the dead and the living. Remembrance is life and the gathering of roses and men and stars in the basket of the mind its most glorious task.
