Milkha Singh has led a lifestyle dominated by running, running and running. From a young man who narrowly escaped loss of life during Partition (the majority of his family was not therefore lucky), to a juvenile delinquent who stole and outran the authorities, to a Army recruit who ran his very first race to win particular privileges for himself (a regular glass of dairy). After that first race, Milkha Singh became an athlete by default. And what implemented was the stuff legends are constructed of. In this incredibly candid autobiography, about The Competition Of MY ENTIRE LIFE : An Autobiography Milkha Singh shares the amazing highs of winning Indias initial ever gold in athletics in the Commonwealth Video games, the unbridled pleasure of being hailed as the Traveling Sikh in Pakistan, as well as the shattering low of failure at the Olympics. Simple, yet ambitious; famous, yet grounded; temptations all around him, yet remaining celibate therefore he could focus on racing; a wealthy and beautiful gal who was desperate for him, yet fighting the world to marry his lady love, Nimmi, even as the on-field dilemma found its method into his personal existence, Milkha was a guy who defined his own future. And yet, for a man whose lifestyle was dominated by sports activities, he continues to stay disillusioned with the way sports is operate. Effective and gripping, The Competition of My Life documents the trip of the impoverished refugee who rose to become perhaps one of the most towering numbers in Indian sports.
