Introduction
Ok, where should I start this from? I have seen lots of ordinary people write their detailed life events when something extra-ordinary happens to them. So guess I am following their league and doing the same, as something extra-ordinary happened to me. It happened in a place where I initially came over for higher education, but now became a permanent resident and right from the day I began my journey, packing my bags and leaving my home country, I knew everything was going to be different. Different in a good way or bad? I wasn’t sure at that time. But 10 years later, had I known what was going to befall me, I would have endured everything in my life, the good, the bad and the ugly, hundred times and over.
As what happened to me 10 years after coming to this country, can only be described as the wildest of the wildest dreams coming true! I mean how can I even begin to comprehend this change, this most amazing thing which happened all of the sudden and yes, it changed my life forever. So why don’t I take you on my life’s journey, as I mentioned I belong to a different country and it is a world apart. You get to know me better and travel along with me on the wildest-craziest ride, which I know a very lucky few are given the chance to live it through and I am one of these lucky few!
I know, I should have given more thought to the title of this book, as it is a huge spoiler, but yes, I did win the lottery. It was the same routine, which I follow every week, buy a Euromillions lottery ticket every Tuesday and Friday, that particular Tuesday, there was a rollover and the estimated jackpot worth was 22 million Great British Pounds. For a guy like me, I didn’t even know how much that money was and what I could do with it, so I casually bought a ticket on my way to work at the supermarket which I usually shop at. And guess the only right thing which I did was to be at the right place, at the right time and nothing more! Plus, I had a strong backing from my guardian angel (more on that later).
But we are jumping ahead of time, let me go back so you can understand what my background is, how culturally different countries can be and give you a taste of the other side of India which I feel is mostly unheard of elsewhere in the world.
Also, one thing which I am not doing is tell you about the secrets of winning the lottery or talk about Numerology or Scientology. So unlike other books, which promise to get you on the right track of picking the winning numbers, mine just talks about my experience and the changes which such a big windfall brings, at the same time giving references to my Indian lifestyle and upbringing. I feel that there are a lot of interesting aspects to cover here and my main aim is to provide a pleasant experience to my readers and talk about the changes which a huge windfall brings into one’s life – the beauty, dangers and all the amazing experiences!!
