His rich professional experience (in state police and the CBI) is evidenced in his experiences during the 1965 Indo-Pak War and in his supervision of cases of special crime anti-corruption and murder in the CBI. His skilled narration in Facebook posts and penned articles has drawn exceptional endorsements.The book is peppered with endearing characters that flit through the pages perpetrating well-meaning indiscretions from Mansukha to Masoom and of course Amma (author?s mother) who is naive enough to think that Eton is just a pile of bricks.Shekhar?s forte is character delineation. As such the unique aspect of this book is that it is replete with delightful characters having a bearing on human interest.This touching tale of times gone by will strike a heart-warming chord with its readers as they go along to discover the humane facet of a ?uniformed service? otherwise known for its severe approach.
