About the Book

Life is a gift but also an enigma. It is good to be born - have caring parents, an able body, enjoy food, play around, love and make merry! But it comes with an inseparable dark side, like a shadow with the light - hunger, disease, disability and ageing. The only way to rise above this duality is to create a legacy out of it. Do better than ordinary, give more than take, make the world a better place and leave behind a body of work and disciples who carry forward your work beyond your life.

This book is not instructive, prescriptive or even suggestive. It is a simple story of a child born in rural Karnataka, who was raised by good parents, hardworking and steadfast in their faith, and who became a medical doctor and then rose meritoriously in a highly competitive system to be a robotic cancer surgeon of renown. Not even 50 yet, and he has created a launch pad for his legacy - a Foundation serving cancer patients living in rural areas and doing research to make newer drugs, which are both effective and affordable.

Divided into four parts, the book neatly establishes the purpose of life as a legacy, introduces the science behind cancer in a conscious and easy-to-understand manner, oversees present and emerging treatment scenarios and takes away the fear of the dreaded malady of cancer. It is just another door of exit. Everyone who is born will eventually die. The focus must be on life and not on death. On living purposefully, in a healthy manner, and above all happily.

This book is a must-read for everyone who values the gift of life.

Foreword

I have been a legacy worker myself. In the last five decades of my legal practice, I have worked to bring Major League Baseball to Washington DC, adventured in Sudan to save democracy, protected the rights of US multinational enterprises in Europe, protected the residents of the Dominican Republic from the effects of toxic waste dumping and worked to save the environment.

Introduction

People in the medical profession find it difficult to write books even if they wish to, due to the inescapable demands on their time. So, when I got this beautiful book written by my young colleague, Dr S. Chinnababu, I was intrigued. Then I realised the incredible team he made with Prof. Arun Tiwari, who wrote the modern classic, Wings of Fire, with the legendary Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and I could see the mechanism behind the magic.
