About this ebook
The Resonant Chord is all about a young lad's journey. It is the mirrored reflection of the life of a young man who worked and studied at the same time during his teens, only to retire as the Ombudsman of RBI.
It is a story of how he never lacked confidence and always knew at the bottom of his mind that he would have to one day pull out his ace card to be a winner.
It tells of how he found the missing piece in his life and of how he faced the struggles of life that inspired him to become a role model for many a youth.
