September 1953: Memoir of an Ordinary Man

Life can often be a roller coaster of sorts and mine was no different. From rags to riches to rags and back. Arrogance played a big part in my business days. There was a project introduced in a township twenty five years too early but still had the chance of taking off to greater heights had arrogance not come in the way.

The lawyer had asked for a huge fee, but the lives of six innocent men were at stake. The very person who was responsible for their plight offered to pay and the amount was somehow arranged. The fight began in Sharjah Court and the adversary was a man of immense wealth and influence. It almost felt like David and Goliath. It all depended on the young Arab advocate and the six men to fight this out and prove their innocence.

The key was perseverance. It kept my life going through all the adventures.

Join me as I take you through some of these adventures and may they help you get through some of your own.
