This is the first book Kirit has authored. The book had been in planning since his escape from Kuwait, where he was trapped for three months with his family under Sadaam Hussein's regime. The book was put on backburner for 25 years while he was busy rebuilding his and his family's shattered life.
Kirit spent first 24 years of his life in Kampala where he worked as a Chemist for World Health Organization Water Research Project. He moved to Lusaka, Zambia in 1971 to work with the University of Zambia, then to London, UK in 1974. In London he worked for various colleges under the umbrella of University of London from 1974 to 1984.
Kirit received an offer to join Faculty of Medicine, University of Kuwait in 1984 while working at Imperial College of Science and Technology in London.The decision to uproot the family from London to an unknown country was a serious decision.
He resigned from his job with the Imperial College and moved to Kuwait in mid-1984. He and his family lived a comfortable life in Kuwait until that dreadful day of August 2, 1990, the day Sadaam Hussein's army invaded, and subsquently occupied Kuwait.
After his escape from Kuwait in November 1990 he returned to London to rejoin his family. Jobs were hard to come by at that time. He had to expand his horizones to USA.
He landed in Kansas City, Kansas with his family in mid-1991 where he was offered a job with an international Environmental Consulting company. Having lost everything in Kuwait, all their wordly possessions, cloths and some pots and pans, were packed in two suitcases, with which to rebuild their new life.
