From the Margins of History

<p>Accounts of men who have had led significant lives can often be well-meaning but little more than a litany of personal achievements strung together in chronology In the hands of someone like Hasmukh Shan the memoir turns into a rich tapestry or sharp insightful observations. evocative accounts or people from across a dazzlingly broad spectrum an inside view of events of great significance and a self-deprecatory glimpse into the authors own contributions.</p> <p>This candid recalling of a life begins quietly in a little-known princely state but goes on to dive into the political waters in the capital of India. Hasmukh Shah it seems entered calamitous times somewhat by accident. His remarkable journey beginning with a modest background brings him to the job of administering the office of the prime minister or India and later at the helm of one of Indias largest public sector. His post-retirement life is extraordinary - all told as mesmerising stories peppered with cameos from the some giants of that time. </p>
