encompassing three generations of a family. The second part consisted of a human trafficking story and

one on smuggling and animal poaching.

Ronen’s second literary offering, ”Ready to Rock” was released on October 23rd, 2009 by internationally

acclaimed film and TV star Kabir Bedi at the Ambassador Hotel, New Delhi. Also present on the

occasion were Ambassadors, business leaders, administrators, including the Chief Election Commissioner

S.Y. Qureshi, broadcaster Sunit Tandon, CEO of the Lok Sabha Channel and journalists Sanjay Kapoor

and Chandan Mitra. Expressing his admiration for Ronen, Kabir Bedi said, “Ronen has written not one,

but two books….I hope that Ronen one day graduates to the level of noted authors like Arundhati Roy

and Arvind Adiga.”

“Ready To Rock” centres around Arjun and his friends who study at a boarding school, Sherwood

College, Nainital, whose alumni include Amitabh Bachchan, Kabir Bedi and the author’s father.

YPS has acknowledged Ronen’s creativity by awarding him a Red Coat for his outstanding literary skills

in November 2008.
