Recently completed this beautiful piece, and finding it tough to jot down everything I felt while reading... Yes, most of the readers of this book were correct... it felt like I was just there, watching everything... feeling happy, smiling, laughing with Nero, getting surprised with him, and even feeling that "adrenaline and stubbornness.. " Nero elaborated each scene and every place in such a way that, if at all I happen to visit any of those places in future, I doubt if it matches up to the visualizations I absorbed from this book.. I dont know how to better explain than this. Frankly a tad bit envious ;) (after completing the book, I first grabbed atlas though :D) , but more than that I am in awe of the fact that how the whole universe ensures and conspires that in every situation, this man is kept safe and better in the end.. happy, satisfied and accomplished... "....the energy or the vibe you emit is the energy you receive..." Yes, Spain, Croatia and Thailand stories are mind-blowing, but for me, the experience of "scariest day of life" beats everything... Undoubtedly, my heart skipped a beat reading that chapter and I was trying to imagine and get the feel of how it would have been... --- "...In the moments when I felt I was closest to death, I found myself living the most..." -- l swear, my eyes welled up a bit then, I dont know why... For me, that part will be the best always... My mom finished the book too, and she is absolutely amazed by it..! To be Frank, her exact first words were .... "You know this ability of cat to survive falls from incredible heights, as somehow it lands on its 4 feets and claws... this man is so, he just somehow ends up well everywhere... right??" And I smiled... And my daughter?, Well, let's say she is finding a new love apart from her famous fives and secret sevens... Though she pesters at times with her questions and doubts... My cousins bought the book upon my insist, and now they thank me for my recommendation.. Most probably their next choice for travel is pretty much decided by now…. Neeraj, your book never allowed me to stop smiling throughout... Thank you for this surreal experience and I hope there is a sequel….. And I pray, not another pandemic for that... Kudos Capitan Nero, for this treasure to keep forever... Cheers !
