He created a $ 2 billion company in a short period of time only to leave it penniless. At the heart of the scandal lay the IT barons craving for land (his familys traditional business). To satisfy it Raju pawned his shareholding in Satyam as well as in his real estate company Maytas Infra and allegedly siphoned off funds from both companies. In an elaborate cover-up Raju also fudged Satyams books to inflate its revenues and profits to increase the value of its shares. Raju was able to do this for eight years-until the recession hit in 2008 and the bubble blew in his face.Having come into the IT industry by accident-he was not a technology professional himself-Raju became the toast of Hyderabad as he built a company spread across sixty-six countries in five continents. Close to the powerful and the rich Raju also created a parallel real estate empire going on to successfully bid for the Hyderabad metro rail project the one act that brought his house of cards crashing down.How did Raju amass his IT and real estate empires? How could he hoodwink the law the shareholders and his employees for so long? This unputdownable fly-on-the-wall narrative written with incisive depth by Kingshuk Nag resident editor of the Hyderabad edition of The Times of India captures the dramatic story of Rajus life.A classic from an author regarded as the Father of Punjabi literature All that sustains Kuldeep Singh through his dark days in jail where he is serving a term for participating in anti-British agitations are thoughts of his beautiful wife and the dream of going home. But he returns to find that his wife has died leaving behind their infant child. As his world collapses around him he negotiates the divergent pulls exerted by people around him: a holy man who advocates renunciation; his childhood friend Saroj who has always loved him; and the tempestuous Prakash who hides an unsavoury past. Sahitya Akademi Award-winning author Nanak Singh draws on personal experiences to create this compelling portrait of Punjab in the 1920s. Originally published in Punjabi in 1940 Adh Kidhiya Phool is an intense meditation on the choices people make and the consequences these may have. The author's engagement with social issues like superstition and blind faith religious bigotry casteism and the emancipation of women seems as fresh and relevant today as it did when he wrote this book.Fluently translated by Navdeep Suri A Life Incomplete introduces a stalwart of Punjabi literature to a new readership.
