The life story related in this book is as dramatic as a real-life drama—full of annals of wonderful ups and downs. This book will surely inspire the young generation businessmen and women of our country. Those youngsters who are not afraid of taking a long journey, however rugged and thorn ridden the path may be, will find the lays of M. A. Kashem immensely inspiring because they will learn how the goal can be achieved if it is steadfast and the journey is never given up. This life story, however, is not only the story of all success but a tragic one too. Fortune gave him the horn of plenty but did not hesitate to take back the most precious treasure of it. At a time when he had prepared his only son Tareque to take over all his business enterprises and the son was also ready with his new and dynamic ideas to be the mainstay of his father’s business, right at that time all fell apart when his son disappeared in the dead of night in a mysterious circumstance. Long ago, in his early days, Kashem came to Dhaka empty-handed; then he was filled with everything, but today, even though he has all, his heart is empty. May be he still has a flicker of hope in some dark corner of his mind and he spends his days and nights waiting for his son to return and that hope has kept him alive and going.
