Colonel Saurabh Sharma brings to the literary world a voice of strength, wisdom, and reflection—a voice shaped by years of service in the Indian Armed Forces and deepened by an enduring commitment to personal growth. In his latest work, One Life: Never Too Late, he turns his keen observational skills and lived experience toward a subject that is as timely as it is timeless: the incredible potential for transformation at any stage of life. As a serving officer who has witnessed human resilience and courage firsthand, Saurabh Sharma presents stories that echo the quiet yet powerful truth that it is never too late to begin again.
The book takes readers into the lives of individuals who refused to let age define their possibilities. With a narrative that is both compassionate and practical, Saurabh explores the human spirit’s capacity for reinvention—whether it’s someone taking up painting in their sixties, learning a new language after retirement, or finally acting on a childhood dream that had long been shelved. Through these stories, he reminds us that purpose and fulfillment are not bound by years, but by one’s willingness to change, adapt, and grow.
What makes Colonel Sharma’s storytelling unique is the balance he strikes between inspiration and realism. There are no lofty promises or exaggerated heroics. Instead, he grounds his work in real people, real choices, and real challenges. With clear insight, he encourages readers to view setbacks not as endings, but as stepping stones toward rediscovery. His military background brings with it a discipline and clarity that inform both his prose and his perspective. The discipline to take action, the clarity to reflect, and the strength to move forward—all are embedded in the stories he tells.
Beyond inspiration, the book serves as a practical guide. It offers strategies for overcoming fear, for navigating self-doubt, and for building habits that align with purpose. Whether it’s developing new hobbies, contributing meaningfully to society through volunteerism, or simply learning how to slow down and be present, One Life: Never Too Late provides a roadmap to living fully. Saurabh Sharma emphasizes the importance of community, connection, and curiosity as tools for lifelong growth. In a world that often celebrates youth as the peak of vitality, he makes a compelling case for maturity as a time of wisdom, depth, and new beginnings.
As a person, Saurabh Sharma embodies the very message he shares in his book. Holding three Master’s degrees and currently pursuing a fourth in psychology, he refuses to stop learning. His intellectual hunger mirrors the journeys of the individuals he writes about—people who continue to evolve, question, and expand their inner worlds. His passion for reading and writing has been a constant companion alongside his military career, and in this second book, that passion has taken form in a way that uplifts and empowers.
His debut title, All Eyes on Tiger: Story of a Command, showcased his ability to capture leadership, responsibility, and the courage that defines the life of a soldier. With One Life: Never Too Late, he shifts focus from command to compassion—from stories of the battlefield to stories of the soul. And yet, the strength, structure, and authenticity remain unmistakable.
