Syed Shabbar Zaidi shares his journey in a compelling story of an unplanned life-achieving extraordinary successes and facing insightful failures. It is a sketch of a vibrant life in two culturally and politically diverse cities of Lahore and Karachi with a short excruciating stint in Islamabad.The author has looked back into the political history and genesis of the state of Pakistan. It started from the book Pakistan andamp; Partition of India by Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar in 1940, all the way to the hybrid regime of Imran Khan and General Bajwa in 2019.This book is also a recital of the tenure of a Chairman Federal Board of Revenue from the private sector, who failed to deliver despite, real or perceived, support from public, political forces and the establishment.An admirable bloodline of two great martyrs viz. Imam Hussain (AS) and Hazrat Zaid Shaheed. Perhaps to whom the remnants of his fearlessness can be attributed.He further sheds light on the genealogical journey which started in Madina ending in Karachi. Stations en route: Kufa, Wasit, Muzaffarnagar, Agra-Bharatpur and Lahore. Over 1400 years of continuous migration to his family's present settlement in Karachi, with a loving daughter now settled in Toronto.Faith, a personal subject, is another aspect which the author weighs upon, to address the unanswered questions of the public.He further expounds on his relationship with three towering personalities namely Professor Adibul Hasan Rizvi, Syed Babar Ali and Imran Khan who have all played an important role in his life.
