My Motivation: Mr. Lalit Kankaria – My Elder brother: He had been through and is still going through very difficult time. Given the situations, an ordinary man, including me, would have either collapsed or would have given up hope. But he stands tall in the face of all challenges. I hope and wish, he emerges out with flying colours.
