I was always fascinating about Sir JRD. He didn’t left single stone unturned to develop nation and help the people. I like the way the story narration did and music was fruitful. Boman Irani sir Boise was just ossum. I would have more happy if there would be more of his life experiences could have been shared.

Excellent narration and motivating story.

You were at your best in reading out the story of JRD who is my Greatest Ideal of Life- many years ago I read the book but listening to your poetic presentation was a magical experience ! when you were reading the last line of his slipping away in sleep - tears were flowing down unconsciously for a person who became so much of a relative- as though we lost a close and dearest one! This true Bharat Ratna indeed is a true Viswa Ratna who will inspire millions to be better persons and accomplished !

An inspiring story of a Legend

The book offers glimpses of legendry Indian industrialist J.R.D. Tata’s life. The most memorable lines for me are brilliantly performed by Boman Irani:

“I believe that the social responsibilities of an industrial enterprise should extend even beyond serving people to the environment. This need is now fairly well recognized but there is still considerable scope for most industrial ventures to extend their support not only to human beings but also to the land to the forests to the waters to the creatures that inhabit them”.

Similarly, Shernaz Patel’s performance is extraordinary. The narrators make this book a memorable one. The book also reminded me of Langston Hughes’s poem,

“Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly ….”

J.R.D Tata’s life cannot be captured in a one-hour audiobook. He dreamed big and worked hard to make them real, He is the founder of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Air India, and more than 80 companies.

J.R. Tata said and I quote “I do not want India to be an economic superpower. I want India to be a happy country.” And this was the measure of his value system.

Great book and everybody will learn something new.

Overall brilliantly performed ***** ALL FIVE STARS
