When the Road Beckons' is an inspiring odyssey that promises to transform a generation. Drawing parallels between a precarious journey across Ladakh and Life, the author has shown that it is 'uncertainty' from which the evils of fear and lethargy emanates, that stop us from listening to our true calling.

It's a story that will take you to that one person whom you are quite eager to discover. And that person is You.
