About this title

Synopsis

This book presents an assortment of stories, slices of life experiences spiced with emotional nuances, political and economic observations in the many countries that I visited or worked in. My work and travel took me to over 40 countries from Brazil all the way to Philippines, via Europe, Middle East, Africa, South Asia, etc. In all the towns and villages that I visited, I keenly observed people as they live and work. I also perceived their political and social milieu. From this gorgeous tapestry of insights, I have carved out pithy and revealing stories, slices and spices of life in varying hues from many countries. You will read about how football is a religion in Brazil, Mother Teresa’s humane work across the world, how Angellaa broke her heart over unrequited love in Colombia, President Jimmy Carter’s charm, the beauty of Rio de Janeiro, how Agnes awaits her boyfriend in a cashew market in Sri Lanka, life of an Indian electrician in the Gulf, the humility of a Miss Universe, lessons of Harvard Business School, what does Trump mean for the world, etc. You will also know about Amitabh Bachchan’s graciousness when he won the parliamentary election in 1984 in Allahabad, how to make Mission Clean India successful, Professor Michael Porter’s views on India, what is a ‘chith-dukhi’ in Nepal, enjoy the salty seas of Mumbai, how to become a Paratha King in Agra, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s humility as a pilot in Indian Airlines, how to understand the Indian wholesale and retail markets, power symbols in corporate life, etc. So, enjoy a kaleidoscope of experiences in this roller-coaster expedition.
