Masood forces you to see through his eyes the obvious but scary realities of life, which we all are too scared to look at. He takes you on a personal journey of trauma, confusion, and guilt that he lived through as a young agriculture officer in a bank, torn between his duty to recover a debt from an old, rustic woman, inconsolably crying because her only son who took the loan was dead, and his conscience yelling at him to let her go. This journey takes you on a decrepit bus in the witching hours of a chilly night, from which the conductor is throwing out a gasping sick man on a wolf infested lonely highway as the guy was a few pennies short for the ticket.
He leaves you grappling with his ordeals, till the apparent speak up, loud and clear!
In this sixth decade of his life, he distills the feelings, experiences, and insight of an agriculture officer, a manager in Indian banking, and a member of the "State Level Committee for Prime Minister's 15 Point Program for Minorities."
He did his master's in agriculture, management, and commerce and taught economics, currency and banking, and finance at Unity Degree College, affiliated with Lucknow University.
