See to be honest as Memoir clearly states that I had face bad times of my life when I was in UAE for around 4 years in remand on that circumstances I had lost my reputation my first family including my mother then my friends for reasons beyond my control. All news was spread through 3rd party channels with purely assumptions and prejudices without knowing the true facts. Hence I need to revel the truth for myself and to society. Look Sir, this memoir is written for my own satisfaction and truth revealed with 101 %. If readers, feel and find any good valuable points they can select for themselves.

This transformation happened truly during my days behind bars at UAE for around 4 years as mentioned above. It was a long period in those times in 90’s where the influence of social media was lacked. The mental and physical sufferings I encountered that time were unforgettable. It all started when I crossed my 3 months inside on seeing innocent expat inmates who were suffering with language barriers to prove their innocence before the prosecution and judiciary and you can just imagine the hassles during remand terms in country made out of kingdom where no values of Human Rights in place or acceptable. Still I carried out my selfless services to assist the weaker sections of inmates and found best way for few of their exit. I found happy on my selfless services seeing them leaving with smile even when I myself were stocked in.

Yes, during my childhood, I saw and remember my beloved dad (who passed away in my early 20’s) practicing noble services to poor and needy regardless of caste creed or religion.

Kamal H Muhamed:
This is my own principle or you can name it as part of my personal behaviour. My intention of Authoring Book autobiography is to prove my innocence for my own satisfaction before leaving this world with society full of assumptions and prejudiced mind-set.
As man with compassion and selfless service oriented, various good, Bad and ugly people have crossed through my life I feel not to put poison myself on bad and ugly by leaving it to Karma’s hands to its decision. However, if these players read or happened to read they can well understand the ugly part they played.
