Book Description
If your dad loses his job (or your mom loses hers), it might not mean much to you at first. Parents have jobs, and kids don't always think a lot about them. But having a parent lose a job can bring changes you weren't expecting. Suddenly, your family is trying to save money and you can't afford everything you'd been used to. Maybe your family has to move to a smaller house, or get a cheaper car. And, on top of that, your parents are probably worried and stressed. The situation can be scary for everyone, but it is one that many people have faced and one that you can definitely survive.

The Ineligible Millionaire
Author: Tarun Varshney
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Arjun, a talented programmer struggling to get a job because of his poor academics, finds that his father is deeply in debt for a long time. With hope – his love, Shreya, and support – his friend, Raj, he gets roped into underpaying, downright, unfair programming jobs, yet out of necessity, and soon incurs debts of his own. He wonders if he has a destiny? Often lonely and cheated, Arjun swallows a bitter pill and leaves his parents alone to make more money with a promise to return. A 10-year-long journey of a man with his dreams who slowly discovers something else he is destined for after a near-death experience. Praise for the book: “Learning about a boy who was so under-confident, who didn’t know how to speak English properly but honed his skills and became a millionaire is surely an inspirational read. I think a large part of the audience will be able to relate to it, be it students, young professionals or mid-senior level professionals. There is a bit for everyone. And, what I really loved about this book is it doesn’t preach you anything as such in the direct narrative instead there are so many underlying messages which are enough to motivate you.” – BooksAmaze “Arjun’s character is somebody that you grow fond of as a reader because Arjun is literally the humblest guy in the world, somebody who works really hard, somebody who is trying his best to deal with all the distress in his life. Still, life keeps throwing curve balls at him while he tries to dodge them. He keeps getting hit by them, but he doesn’t stop, and that makes his character extremely inspiring. This is the kind of book that gives out the message that good things are just around the corner and you just have to keep going.” – Saumya’s Bookstation
