Once it happened

Daulat Singh Panwar has led an interesting life - from joining the Indian Navy to becoming the first literate person in his family and handling a job overseas in Middle East countries from a shy glossophobic to a charismatic oilfields skills instructor a manager and a consultant. Daulat transcends child marriage and later manages in getting his son married off in an intercaste marriage much against his mothers wishes. He has in short seen it all. He finds humour in despair. In this delightful memoir Daulat Singh writes in a very tongue-in-cheek style chronicling episodes from his life with fond reminiscence and candour. This is a beautiful walk down the memory lane down a path that very few voices tell tales from.
