Thread of God in My Life

R.M. Lala's impressive career spans journalism, publishing, philanthropy and writing books, including the best-selling biography Beyond the Last Blue Mountain: A Life of J.R.D. Tata. Lala's direct and almost conversational style gives a vivid portrait of the times he has lived through, allowing the reader a glimpse into his intensely personal memories, his experiences, as well as his encounters with the personalities who shaped twentieth-century India-from J.R.D. Tata to Mother Teresa; from Vinoba Bhave to Morarji Desai. The book is informed throughout by the author's deep and enduring faith in God, a strength of belief which has supported him through two serious illnesses, healed a broken marriage, taken him from financial adversity to financial security and guided him through four careers over two continents. This moving autobiography illuminates R.M. Lala's essential philosophy-the acceptance of what cannot be changed; a positive effort to live by certain standards; and, above all, the joy of living in the presence of God.
