Update: These books are interesting. Much of it wont make sense to me. This was just a page of names religiously I think. Also he writes everything in caps. I will also type the same in caps and post the pictues of the books later. Maybe one day i'll get these pages translated. It is a mixture of non-english and english pages.

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO
SAID THAT THEIR ARE
5 STEPS TO SUCCESS IN AMERICA.

1. ENTER AMERICA
2. SURVIVE IN AMERICA
3. GET LEGALIZED
4. SURVIVE IN AMERICA
5. SUCCEED IN AMERICA

YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED THE FIRST 4 STEPS,
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO
PUSH HARD AND SUCCEED!!

Update: It's interesting to see my dads process to life. "The 5 Step Plan". He entered America, he survived in a place thats difficult to survive for immigrants. He didnt get citizenship but he did get legalized. I just noticed he wrote survive in america twice. Man did some extra surviving lol. FIannly succeed... I don't think he ever saw himself as succeeding but I think he did great for what he had against him. He was a great manager for Raagini. My mom and me succeeded where he couldn't for the opportunities he gave my mom, who was able to become strong and give me my opportunity to succeed.

FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied: "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

CULTURE IS TOO OFTEN DESTINY. IT ESTABLISHES A PERSON'S DESIRES, VALUES, BELIEF SYSTEM AND CONDUCT. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT TOO FAR-FETCHED TO BELIEVE IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DETERMINE ONE'S DESTINY. A PERSON'S DESIRES GOVERN ONE'S DETERMINATION, WHICH REFLECT IN ONE'S DEEDS, AND IT IS ONE'S DEEDS THAT GOVERN ONE'S DESTINY. I CALL IT THE FOUR D's -> DESIRE, DETERMINATION, DEEDS AND DESTINY. SO LEARN THE STRENGTHS OF INDIAN AND AMERICAN CULTURES. BUT ALSO AVOID THE WEAKNESSES OF INDIAN AND AMERICAN CULTURES!!

MY JOURNAL(1)

For My Son, Raj Bedi, Love Daddy

Strengths of Indian culture -> High value placed on religion, family, education, hard work, respect for elders, economy, chastity, fidelity, tolerance, patience, forgiveness, even - temperedness, long -term orientation, delayed gratification and subordination of individual interests to family/community interests.

Strengths of American culture -> Emphasis on independence, innovation, creativity, originality, adventure, flexibility, assertiveness, competition, extroversion, humor, charity, health + fitness, consciousness, athlethes, entertainment, pragmatism, self-criticism and leveraging ones strength to the fullest extent.

Weaknesses of Indian culture -> Xenophobic tendencies, lack of political awareness, too much competition among themselves instead of with mainstream AMericans, preoccupation with wealth, disunity, over-attachment to tradtion, defensiveness about Indian culture, inflexibilitym lack of interest in sports, lack of interest in developing hobbies, reluctance to work with ones own hands hand lack of interest in voluture work.

Weaknesses of American culture -> Tendency towards impatience, acceptance of violence, instant gratification, low temperedness, over reaction to problems, self-centeredness, lack of spirituality, move fun-oriented than work-oriented, ignorance of other countires and their cultures, glorification of youth, lack of respect for elders, permissiveness with respect to sex and substance abuse, litigious, obsession with sports, anti-intellectual.

THE FIRVE LAWS OF GOLD

1. Gold cometh gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
2. Gold closeth diliqently and contenedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
3. Gold clingeth to the projection of the cautious owner who invests if under the advice of men wise in its heading
4. Gold stoppeth away frpm the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar of whic are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
5. Gold flees the man who would give it to impossiblecalmings of who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemas of who knows of to his own inexpeperience and desives in invesment.

WISDOM OF ALGAMISH
"A part of all I earn is mine to keep."
Say it in the morning when you first arise. Say it at noon. Say it at night. Say it each hour of every day. Say it to yourself until the words stand out like letters of fire across the sky.
Impress yourself with the idea. Fill yourself with the thought. Then take whatever portion seems wise. Let it not be not less thanone and lay it by. Avenge your other expenditures to do this if necessary. But by that portion first. Soon you will reduce what a feeling it is to own a treasure upon which you alone have claim. As it grows it will stimulate you. A new joy of life will thank you. Greater efforts will come to you to earn more. For of your increased earnings, will not the same percentage be also yours to keep?
Then learn to make your treasure work for you. Make it your slave. Make its children and its children's children work for you.

DESIRE
"PRECEDING ACCOMPLISHMENT MUST BE DESIRE. THY DESIRES MUST BE STRONG AND DEFINITE."
GENERAL DESIRES ARE BUT WEAK LONGINGS. FOR A MAN TO WISH TO BE RICH IS OF LITTLE PURPOSE. FOR A MAN TO DESIRE FIVE PIECES OF GOLD IS A TANGIBLE DESIRE WHICH HE CAN PRESS TO FULFILLMENT. AFTER HE HAS BACKED HIS DESIRE FOR FIVE PIECES OF GOLD WITH STRENGTH OF PURPOSE TO SECURE IT, NEXT HE CAN FIND SIMILAR WAYS TO OBTAIN TEN PIECES AND THEN TWNTY PIECES AND LATER A THOUSAND PIECES AND, BEHOLD, HE HAS BECOME WEALTHY. IN LEARNING TO SECURE HIS ONE DEFINITE SMALL DESIRE, HE HATH TRAINED HIMSELF TO SECURE A LARGER ONE. THIS IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH WEALTH IS ACCUMULATED : FIRST IN SMALL SUMS, THEN IN LARGER ONES AS A MAN LEARNS AND BECOMES MORE CAPABLE!!
"DESURES MUST BE SIMPLE AND DEFINITE. THEY DEFEAT THEIR OWN PURPOSE SHOULD THEY BE TOO MANY TOO CONFUSING, OR BEYOND A MANS TRAINING TO ACCOMPLISH!!"

10% -> MOM & DAD
10% -> RELATIVES
10% -> FRIENDS
10% -> GOD'S WORK
10% -> CHARITY
10% -> BUNNY
10% ->

Update: Seeing this, I have to remind myself that this was written in 2003. It is one of the saddest lists. My Dad had a big heart and care for people in his life. Many did not in return.
30% For us. While it isn't a big deal, I wish he thought more personally for us.
For my Grandparents or his Mom and Dad, again this being written in 2003, its still early but at this point they have damaged and did so much to my dad. Yet he still cared for them. Not for many years later did he realize that they were not good people but it was too late.
Relatives also took advantage and never really did anything for him.
Dad has friends, but many had also betrayed him over the years. Mainly people like Makhan, or Dr.mithal or amitjeet. Theres others but many had betrayed him over the years.
By now you may realize my dad was religious and he only got more devoted as I grew up. Who knows how much money has given, or spent. I know it is literally thousands of dollars. In the end despite all that, despite my mom telling the temple where he frequented, they stopped calling when they found out he was dead.
I would have liked to hear about him, but they just said they will do temple prayers that day and moved on.
Charity, I don't know if he ever did. I know he gave money to the temple, but I don't know if he ever gave to a charity. He was always kind hearted giving money to the homeless.
Bunny.. that is my uncle or his brother. Maybe there relation was still ok at this time but just like his parents they just betrayed him and always fought with each other. I dont have any feelings toward him. I do hate my grandmother.
This was a bit heavy and I need to apologize. I had to say this when I saw this. Despite my dads big heart and generousity he was always taken advantage of. I wish in the next life people treat him more kindly.

One of my biggest mistakes in life, has been that I did not learn from my past mistakes!
Most of all, I did not learn from the miracles of "GOD" which happened in my life. All of us encounter these miracles - small or big, but we tend to forget them and that is a big mistake!!
Most people rely on these memory, Unfortunately my memory has been weak. I could have solved the problem by putting it in the form of a journal, to which I could refer to when needed. Fortunately, I have begun to do so!!!
I would recommend everyone to keep a journal of their life, to which they can refer to, to avoid past mistakes... but most of all to see the presence of "GOD" in our lives at all times!!!!

Update: Finally I finished book 1. It definitely took some time. This book was written in 2003. I would be 5 at this time. You may not have have been the greatest father. I get it. Life was tough and many things went against you. But I am glad that you were mine. Thank you for putting the effort to put these words in. I wish I had something more recent but it's okay. I Love You Dad. Rest In Peace. I don't have much from you but your words will forever be immortalized.
