TALES FROM A BYGONE ERA

This is an attempt to spread some cheer and positive vibes at a time when there is an almost all-pervading gloom – largely triggered by the pandemic. The author has used his phenomenal memory to chronicle the instances narrated by luminaries like his family elders school teachers instructors from an in-service training institution and professional colleagues. There is also a section about some memorable programmes beamed over All India Radio. The readers will find that the book covers a wide gamut that includes humour pragmatism and life-skills. It could also be seen that the central characters in these instances are not well- known personalities (about whom most of us have already read or heard a lot). Instead the ‘narrators’ have been persons with whom most of us can easily identify.
