Since my younger daughter Bhavya gained admission to IIT Bombay in 2022, my wife and I have been approached by countless individuals eager to understand her journey. They inquire about her study methods, the effort required for success, when to begin IIT JEE preparation, and whether sending children to distant institutions is beneficial. The volume of questions surged even further after our elder daughter, Ria, was selected at IIM Bangalore in May 2025. Now, people are curious about our parenting approach and how we achieved what many deem a dream.

What truly captures their attention is that our daughters excel not only academically but also in sports. Achieving this balance in today’s competitive world is no small feat.

Both of our daughters love and trust us deeply, feeling well-cared for. To us, this love is the greatest gift life has offered. It becomes even more meaningful when we see the contrasting struggles faced by neighbors and colleagues.

This inspired me to share our experiences, insights, and journey with a broader audience. Our hope is that by doing so, we can positively influence families, strengthen parental bonds with children, and inspire young aspirants aiming for prestigious institutions. To us, this would be one of our most profound achievements—and a meaningful contribution to society.

We thank the Almighty for the parenting methods that have served us well. Through this book, we aim to share these lessons in a simple and clear manner, hoping they will benefit others.
This book illustrates how sports can shape a child's personality and foster essential life skills, empowering them to realize their dreams.

It also narrates our family's journey through the demanding JEE and CAT exams, alongside our daughters’ pursuit of excellence in national and state-level badminton. It details the challenges, triumphs, and emotional highs and lows we experienced together.

Ultimately, this book provides practical and straightforward techniques for addressing everyday parenting challenges in a rapidly evolving world. We hope it provides an inspiring and valuable read for parents, children, and students alike.
