520			_aThe great achievers who feature in this book were all once normal young people, who had dreams and aspirations, joys and sor- rows, doubts and questions like every young reader of this book. Every one of them has had a turning point in his or her life which set them towards their respective careers or influenced their personalities. They learnt from their experiences and grew up into individuals who have made a mark in their respective field, be it science, indus- try, arts, social work, judiciary or films. These are some of the Achievers of the post- Independence era. The aim of this book is to bring out the fact, that greatness, for the most part, is achieved through determination and perse- verance and that it is possible for anyone to scale great heights provided one has these two qualities. The stories in this collection are all based on personal interviews, during which the personalities let me have a glimpse of their childhood. The incidents are all true. However, with their due permission dia- logues and situations were created to make the stories more lively. I thank them all for kindly going through their respective stories and giving their comments which has added to the worth of the book.
