My Father’s Bad Boy: An Autobiography

This book is my autobiography-an x-ray of my soul, carrying an account of my early innocence and shameful idiocies, my dreams and disillusionments, my grievances and ecstasies, my voracious readings and prolific writings, my friends, well-wishers as also conspirators. It points out too my determination and achievements amid jealously-planted road blocks and maliciously-filed court cases. My ancestral and rural background, my grandparents and parents, my early mechanical education, and forced learning in Arts stream, fruitful graduation and my all-round inspiring higher education and rigorous training in the U.S.A. have also been chronicled.

My jobs too have ranged from mechanical to challenging and rewarding ones in which jealousies and conspiracies of my colleagues transitorily impeded my creative and critical writings, but they subsequently spurred me on to move forward with a galloping speed.

To facilitate its good reading, facts have been given a fictional form, allowing humour and fun at my own cost. The reader is bound to experience my company at every step and to find out the clay out of which novels, short stories, essays and other writings have richly been harvested.
