and
times
of

and
the

"He
has
always
been
distinct
and
offbeat.
His
autobiography
is,
too...
For
it
is
not
just
another
chronological
account
of
his
life.
It
is,
in
fact,
also
peppered
with
incredible
life
lessons
that
are
bound
to
resonate
with
every
aspiring
artiste
and,
most
of
all,
the
common
man," Penguin
added.
