In this book, he recounts his childhood and early education in a small village in Pakistan, his college days in the ancient cities of Multan and Lahore, and his pursuit of getting the highest academic degree that his father had predicted when he was a child. He fulfilled that prediction by receiving his PhD from the University of Minnesota.
