Penned employing the first person narrative, the book has been ghostwritten by Saaz Aggarwal, a writer and columnist.
A figure who remained aloof from the motley throng, Chabbria informs sagely, “I was ready to tell my story now.” And Aggarwal who initially had concerns over him being laconic was pleasantly surprised.
She recounts, “He was keen to relate his story and I recorded his narration and heard it over and over again in order to understand his story.”
The biography took eight months to be completed and is an accumulation of ages detailing accounts from Chabbria's life.
The narration will make the readers leap over gulfs of time to show a 12-year-old Chabbria working as a cleaning boy in a small shop in Karachi.
His accent of conviction is indicative in his inherent rags-to-riches story. His fast pace having gradually reduced in the last few years, Chabbria feels contend after the launch of the book. This being Aggarwal’s second time ghost writing a biography, her process associating with Chabbria was clinical, witnessing her excavating the requirements for the biography and studying them.
Her lettered phrases prune the excrescences and have merited as a flawless triumph in documenting his memories and making the readers privy of his life. Unlike biographies of bigwigs though, this one will see a vacuity of masala and will be clean as the grave Chhabria himself.
But what the biography intents to offer is something deeper, a chronicled reality of personal hardships and the pith and sinew of humanly success. The book is also the personal documented history of Pune as it is strewn with little-known facts about Pune, which has played home to Chhabria for 63 years.
The proceeds from the book are slated to go to the Mukul Madhav Trust at KEM hospital, which was set up in memory of Chhabria's grandson.
