The Journey of Becoming an Author – Sudeep Verma’s Story

The journey of life has many curves, taking us up and down its path, revealing various shades of existence. Life is the best teacher, and real-life experiences are the richest source of learning. Change is the constant that keeps life’s heartbeat ticking. Continuous learning often alters the course of our intended path. The curves of my life—a common, average guy next door—have taken me through extreme highs and lows, surprising turns and twists, love and heartbreak, unexpected bumps and shocks, knowledge trees and flowers of learning, deserts of dejection, and mountains of happiness. Sailing through these curves has enriched me with wisdom that only real-life experiences can bring.

Storytelling or writing a book wasn’t planned, nor was it something I had envisioned early on. But as life unfolded, I found myself walking not just the path of technology, entrepreneurship, and mentorship—but also that of storytelling. Though I had inspiration within my family, particularly from my grandfather, it wasn’t until I was diagnosed with cancer that I felt compelled to narrate the true incidents of my life, leaving me with many valuable and positive lessons. My goal was to leave readers with a positive outlook on life—to reassure them that despite hurdles and challenges, one can find success and happiness by embracing passion, perseverance, patience, and positivity, with the guidance of a mentor.

Now, as I look forward to future projects and ideas, I am grateful for the unexpected turns that led me to this path. Writing has become an integral part of my life’s journey, and I’m excited to continue exploring new stories, ideas, and lessons.

Please listen to the excerpt from my first book, narrating the moment when I decided to pen down my real-life experiences with the motto, “Life never gives up on those who never give up on life.”
