‘Audacity to Aspire’ is a story starting from the last leg of colonial rule in India and covering over eight decades of anecdotes narrated in a lucid style by Dr. Jafar, a reputed Geologist/Palaeontologist. It is a memoir starting with a childhood spent in the countryside of the Avadh region of north India with fireflies, sparrows, and the song of the bulbul and the koyal; reaching the highest echelons of scientific achievement and culminating in the free spirit of a true intellectual unfettered by boundaries of subject matter or even by what is popular. Readers, who may not know several ideas cited in the book, will be delighted as this memoir is laced with scientific information in simple language.

The pictorial documentation along with the emphasis on the power of now and small should inspire others to achieve a better and blissful life.
