In this 'donkey's taleupar wala meherbaan to gadha pehelwaan(When God smiles kindly, the donkey thinks he's a wrestler)', Ansari has endeavoured to capture some highlights of a splendoured life which he has been blessed to live, catching stars while chasing rainbows. From starting newspapers and magazines; representing his country at the United Nations; accompanying dignitaries on state visits; covering cricket Test matches, nine Olympics, Commonwealth and Asian Games; travelling the world; being honoured with the Padma Shri awardit's been indeed la vie en rose.
