Vikram never wanted to change the world.

He just wanted to study.

But when life kept closing doors, and people laughed at the "poor boy with big dreams," he held on — to books, to hope, and to a dream no one else could see.

The Burden of Dreams is a tender and deeply human story of a village boy who, denied a chance to succeed, chooses something even braver — to help others rise.

When society tells Vikram he's a failure, he begins teaching under a tree. No salary. No blackboard. Just a heart that refuses to give up.

Years pass. Children learn. And what began as rejection quietly blossoms into something extraordinary — a school without walls, and a revolution without noise.

This isn't just a story of struggle. It's a story of quiet victories. Of dusty feet and glowing minds. Of how one life, lived with love and purpose, can light the path for many.

If you've ever felt invisible, unheard, or tired of trying — this book is for you.
