Usually, successful entrepreneurs share their life journeys through autobiographies, but Irfan Izhar has chosen poetry for this purpose.

According to him, verses make a greater impact than plain messages, in one of the couplets, he says, “Samundar samne hai aur kinara door tar hai, humara paon ab is rah mein majboor tar hai” means though the sea coast is quite far, I will continue the voyage unflinchingly.

While commenting on the book’s content, Shri Ram Niwas Goel, said “Free from esoteric allusions, Irfan Izhar’s poetry is a simple yet subtle conversation with life that can be easily manifested and deciphered by the contemporary audience, not very much familiar with the Urdu language.

Most of the verses in this book symbolise struggle as success in a very motivational and winning tone.”

Speaking about his interest in films and literature, Izhar said, “Through poetry, I inspire others for success and through business, I pave path to success for them. My business translates the vision of an entrepreneur but the values of a poet which is sensitive as well as empathetic.” “

Be it the A Journey of Thousand Miles - Peace Keepers directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinnoy (Academy Award recipient) and Geeta Gambhir or my upcoming film The Last Resort, a thriller starring Reecha Sinha, I always tried to showcase the intriguing aspects of life and its undaunted spirit to survive with dignity,” added by Irfan Izhar.
