When a man lives 100 years he tends to philosophize about life to make sense of it. And that's what I liked about the book, lots of life lessons. A lot of people marveled about the secret of his health until this late age and when he was once asked: What's the secret? He answered: You need to choose your parents and your grandparents. It was a bit of light-hearted nonsense because you obviously can’t, and yet I did feel I’d been very fortunate with mine. Eventually, I said it was all about grounding in childhood and maybe inheriting good genes. ‘If I knew the secret,’ I added, ‘I could make a lot of money!’ In my view, these are the reasons for the secret of him having a long life that many people wondered about. If you search in our Islamic culture, a lot of what I mentioned above is declared in many Islamic scripts as reasons for having a prolonged and prosperous life. So no wonder he lived 100 year. It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear father, Captain Sir Tom Moore,’ the families statement read. ‘We are so grateful that we were with him during the last hours of his life; Hannah, Benjie and Georgia by his bedside and Lucy on FaceTime. The story of his childhood, love of bikes, motorbikes, fast cars, love of his uncles, the tragedies, the love, the family heart breaking health problems.
News reports and stories that changed the news to a man walking in his garden, becoming a pop star, and raising millions for the NHS. One of the most touching sections involved Tom’s every day care for his wife Pamela, as she succumbed to dementia. It made me think of my own grandmother, and I felt emotional reading of Tom’s devotion to his wife. His love for his dogs was also particularly touching. The praise goes to the man, not just the book. Captain Tom a man who lived a 100 year tells his life story from 1920 to 2020. A man who has seen a lot and had a very interesting life. He fought in WWII against the Japanese in Burma and has seen the horror of war with his own eyes. He married twice and both of his marriages were weird! both wives had extreme mental issues! For all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment: the sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away’ – his message of hope after completing his 100th lap of his walk.

An insightful and interesting read. Being honest, I’m not a fan of autobiographies/biographies, simply because anyone and everyone’s lives hold their own tale. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the history of this book. To read about someone who has lived for 100 years and yet still doing so much for his country is inspirational. Dogs become such dear and close companions and the creatures that get you through the darkest of days. I’ve probably cried more over the loss of my pets than I have over people.”
There is so much more to the humble centenarian exserviceman's life than his garden laps for the NHS. A life-affirming memoir Sun Born at the tail end of the Spanish flu epidemic, Tom Moore was raised in the Yorkshire Dales by a loving family that had not escaped tragedy. Yet when the clouds of war threatened, Tom raised his hand and joined up to fight.Fascinating. It's the life story of an ordinary man who is extraordinary * Michael Ball, BBC Radio 2 * Engaging . . .

This can be used by people across the globe and can be customized pertaining to the timezone, and the country they live in. Panchangam today, is the boon to a lot of questions, raised by today’s generation, whose main concern is to look for tangible solutions through technology. No more, it is required to buy the hard copy of the book, it is not necessary to be savvy to decode the planetary positions. I remember saying, ‘I hope the Queen is gentle with this sword!’ – on his knighthood – GQ, November 2020. The early historical chapters are particularly engaging, as is the refreshing down-to-earth honesty. My attention was maintained throughout the book. I was interested in the pragmatism of a man who has chosen not one but two wives who clearly were experiencing mental health difficulties, of which he was not aware when the marriages took place. His stalwart loyalty in both cases provides a strong role model. Now it is possible to find the Panchangam for any date across any decade, and still get accurate details from it. It is possible to get a lot of other information like Sunrise and sunset timings. Additional information like Paksha, Rahu, Gulika and the selected date is also possible.

A very open and honest account of a centenarian's life . . . You cannot help but be amazed * Who Do You Think You Are? * The news of Captain Sir Tom Moore’s death encouraged countless people to search for his best quotes on Google. ‘Captain Tom Moore quotes’ is currently the top trending search term for his name. It seems that everyone wants to show their appreciation for the trailblazer – who was knighted by the Queen in July – by remembering some of his most beautiful words. I found unexpected things in common with Captain Tom, such as his deaf father, or sharing a love for Terry’s Chocolate Oranges. I really enjoyed reading about his Yorkshire upbringing. At times the vibe reminded me of Roald Dahl or Enid Blyton. There’s an incredible amount of detail at times, which helped paint a vivid picture of pre-war life. There is perhaps too much mention of mechanics, motorcycles, cars and tanks – but these are some of Tom’s biggest passions, so he can talk about them however much he wants!

He was game and figured he could give the money to charity, eventually deciding on the NHS Charities Together which supports the National Health Service, staff, volunteers and patients as thanks for being there when medically needed. His family figured maybe they could get a few friends and neighbors involved as well to add to the total and so it started. There's something quite special about starting a book about a man who is 100 years old; a man who has lived through war, advances in technology, loss and even a modern pandemic. A national hero . . . He tells the story of his life with unfailing optimism and charm * Daily Mirror *
