This is the story about Sujit Meher who belongs to the most backward region of the country, where some people still struggle to meet the basic needs of life, where people don't dare to dream big and where people don't even know the contemporary meaning of the word "Fashion" yet. Hailing from such a humble background, He has set an example for the fellow dreamers to follow their heart to glory. He has literally travelled the distance to be a well known fashion designer and entrepreneur of the country at a very young age. Success came but with many prices and struggles. Sujit was known as the lowest academic scorer of his batch being a "low grader". He worked hard to make his own brand label during his college time and created his brand label. Perhaps the book's greatest strength is that it teaches the reader that one can do anything he / she wants to, irrespective of the compulsions or obligations, self-inflicted or prescribed by the society.
