My Allahabad Story recollects the author's privileged childhood in a prominent family of the city he is obsessed with. He traces his growing years in the large middle class Kayastha family bringing out in amusing detail, some quaint social customs and traditions that existed half a century ago. The author wonderfully describes the changed complexion of the city with a tinge of despair. Life and times and what happened to Allahabad has been graphically described with nostalgia. An interesting account of an Irish resident brings out the social life that prevailed in Allahabad hundred years ago, interlaced beautifully between the English, Anglo-Indians and Indians.

Not all love stories are meant to have perfect endings. Not every love story even has an ending: be it bad or good. Some parents allow their children to marry whomever they want to. Some parents are ready to kill their children if they are so obsessed about someone. Welcome to I Live to Die with You, the story of Rohit and Anya, who are so involved with each other that they can’t let go of each other and are ready to die for each other. They aren’t yet married, but to them, marriage is not the only way for things to grow – and so, they remain together with a great sense of loyalty.

We all pass through different phases of life. Our life is like a roller coaster ride, it is never same all the way. Often, some tragic incidents break us into pieces. Being heartbroken, we just look for one ray of hope as an inspiration. However, where does this inspiration come from? Inspiration comes from every small thing surrounding us. Nature along with its creations is capable of inspiring us to the best. We all get heartbroken at some point of time in our life, but let’s not give the heart-breaking reasons the power to destroy us, describe our identity, or define our destiny. Even if, no one steps forward to render help and soothe our pain, we still have the potential to gift ourselves the wings of love. Let’s not forget that even in worst conditions, we are always capable of gifting ourselves the wings to our broken souls. These wings are so powerful and strong that they work like magic for us. These wings hold our aspiring dreams and show us the path of the complete transformation of our soul and body. Every time we flap the wings, not only we bless ourselves with love but also shower love on others. So let’s not forget that in all adversities, we have the capability to empower ourselves with the powerful wings of love to our broken souls.

Caught by the Police is the story of a talented, public-spirited and erudite man, with a multidimensional personality, a republican bent of mind, Indian values and English sensibilities. After a brilliant academic career, he joined the Royal Air Force in 1934 at the age of 19; unfortunately, he was forced to leave on contrived medical grounds. He got into the Indian Police due to a providential combination of circumstances and events, somewhat against his inclination. But once in it, he gave his all to his profession. A brave and intrepid police officer, he went on to become a celebrated police historian. He also wrote spiritual poetry, which forms a part of the book and, interestingly, could recite Shakespeare, Ghalib and the Bhagvad Gita with equal facility. Spanning a century of changing times, this book provides a unique account of the last decades of British Rule and the emergence of a new India, woven into the story of an extraordinary life lived in ordinary places, and a compelling family chronicle.

The book is consisting of stories which are my experiences gathered in my life.
