Biography of Sardar Jodh Singh Sardar Jodh Singh: A Life of Courage and Fortitude Sardar Jodh Singh’s inspirational story is filled with unexpected highs and lows. His larger-than-life quest for success makes him a role model for every middle-class citizen. Armed with nothing but grit and determination, the man managed to fight against adversity and emerge as a winner repeatedly. Throughout his journey, the only constant was his love, affection and devotion with regard to his family. Having lost his mother at a young age, Sardar Jodh Singh was no stranger to sorrow and hardship. He put his nose to the grindstone very early in life, understanding that the whims and vagaries of fate spare no one. Despite his fortitude, fate was unkind to him repeatedly. The family lost everything due to the blood-soaked event of the Partition. They were uprooted from their ancestral lands and lost contact with the men and women they had grown up around and spent years with. The brutal consequences of the geographical bifurcation of the country had wide-ranging effects on the lives of ordinary people like Jodh Singh. Not one to be deterred so easily, Jodh started life from scratch in newly-formed India. He slowly put together everything that his family needed- a roof over their heads, a source of income and social capital. He began the business of cattle trade and dairy products with just one coincidental deal but expanded until he had a monopoly in the field. He earned fame and trust as a businessman, all through his ethical practices and hard work. Later, he mastered many other fields such as transportation, the fodder business and even education. In his last few years, his philanthropic work led to his name becoming synonymous with benevolence and righteousness.

In Ladakh, there is a popular saying: Only the 'truest of friends' and 'fiercest of enemies' come to Leh. Nikhil and his group of dysfunctional friends belong to the third kind: 'craziest of wannabes'. Going Leh on bike would need them to surmount the road of world's highest passes and deadliest traps.

It is here that their conflicting emotions surface, their dark secrets unfold and their fears come alive. It is here that they begin to apprehend the real essence of life. There can be no worldly justification to nurture such unrealistic option ahead of their lives. But why can't they resist its temptation? Why should they find it tempting at first place? Is this what they had sought to achieve when they left home? Is this the decisive journey of their rebellion? Would this consummate their search for that triumphant moment, their quest 'For That Incredible High'?

There are footprints in the sand, footprints dancing about There are footprints in the sand, footprints without a doubt.

There are footprints in my heart, memories from long ago, There are footprints in my heart of places I used to know. Traces, once, of an angel that skipped and twirled to a beat, In places I never knew existed, places where we would meet. There are footprints in my life, all of them lead somewhere, There are footprints in my life, one of them will get me there.
