    Awesome! A memoir of a black man in a cultural journey from childhood to a successful career in the fire service. This “journey” is a powerful story of guts peppered with a dose of determination and is anything but an ordinary. Although wrought with both self-inflicted and societally applied barriers his career spanned 30 years. Thus he became the one of only three District chiefs (in the department’s 100+ year history.) He became the first black Chief of Rescue. He became the first black commander of the Hazardous Materials Team. the first black Assistant Fire Chief of ERD (this division was responsible for all firefighting, rescue, dive, and hazardous materials emergencies and constitutes the bulk of personnel employed by the fire department (approximately ¾ of the firefighters and paramedics employed). And all of this on a predominately white fire department. He held the position of Assistant Fire Chief until he retired.

    This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome to the fascinating journey through the life and achievements of one of India's greatest minds, Aryabhata. In this book, we will explore the remarkable contributions of Aryabhata, a visionary mathematician, and astronomer whose discoveries continue to shape our world today. Aryabhata's story is a testament to the power of human curiosity and intellect. He lived in ancient India, during a time when the Gupta dynasty was fostering a golden age of science, art, and culture. Against this backdrop, Aryabhata emerged as a pioneer, propelling our understanding of mathematics and astronomy to new heights. 
    One of Aryabhata's most enduring legacies is the discovery of zero. Imagine a world without the concept of zero - a world where mathematics and science as we know them would be unimaginable. Aryabhata's ground-breaking work paved the way for the development of modern numerical systems, revolutionizing mathematics and facilitating advancements in countless fields.

    Mark Twain is arguably one of the most famous authors in the United States, with his books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. His characters were a typical and yet deviant episode of the time period in which he lived, depicting the circumstances under which many people lived. The paradox lies in the fact that many people were shocked and impressed by his stories at the same time. 
    As if the controversy wasn’t enough, Mark’s financial situation (whose name was actually Samuel Clemens) was to be lamented, as were some other struggles he faced. He would probably be proud to see how many people have embraced his works and literature now, more than 140 years later.
