Breaking Free, Twice: Sanjay Kumar Gupta's Memoir Captures Bestseller Status and Redefines the Meaning of Success
VMPL New Delhi [India], October 14: In an age when competition often defines identity, Beyond the Rat Race, Twice has emerged as a surprise literary phenomenon.
Written by first-generation graduate and seasoned researcher Sanjay Kumar Gupta, this moving memoir is captivating readers across India and earning top rankings in its category on major online platforms.
Gupta was born in 1974 to parents who migrated from rural Uttar Pradesh, and grew up in the crowded lanes near IIT Delhi. His early years were shaped by scarcity but also by the quiet dignity of a family that valued integrity over appearances.

School brought its own victories and pressures. Gupta recounts how a mother’s generosity and a father’s silent determination planted the seeds of his own moral compass.
