RETOLD STORIES: (AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FIELD GEOLOGIST)

Retold Stories (Autobiography of a field Geologist) is authored by a geologist, who has seen 80 springs in his life. Written in a simple and lucid manner, it is not only an autobiography but also a collection of interesting events, not necessarily in the order that they happened in. One of them is related to the author's Man Friday in the field--Singheshwar Mahato, an unassuming gentleman. Recollections narrated about his activities are hilarious as well as amusing. While travelling through the length and breadth of India, the author has met a bizarre assortment of characters, about whom he has added many episodes to the book, which make its reading pleasurable.
