• Always run towards your fear and not away from it. Feel the fear beating in your heart and use the power of your soul to go beyond it.•

From an immigrant’s turbulent journey across two countries to the challenges he faced, Grit: the battle within is an inspiring and adventurous memoir by Ankit.p.gupta. It’s about his journey, his struggles and his dreams.

I loved the way the book started, taking the readers on a flashback with his childhood memories and the lessons he learned. I loved his family’s story, his Dad’s struggle and the way they strived and survived in the bad days.

Ankit’s journey inspires the readers to not give up on their dreams, to give their best and make it happen. It inspires one to stay strong in every situation life puts you in.

The family bond, the Sibling stories, the bond he shared with his dad, one could relate to his journey well. From a middle-class home to investing in children’s education, and supporting family, Ankit truly inspires readers.

Crisply narrated with a descriptive narrative, it’s a bit slow-paced journey with a smooth flow of words. Each chapter has a story to witness, a struggle to witness. The simple language and the intriguing writing style of the author, the candidness in the narrative make this book lively and easy to read.

There’s so much to learn from this book. From the struggle of an immigrant to balancing home and work, it’s a journey worth witnessing.
