Books by Abhimanyu Singh

Life is continuity, with the genes we inherited from our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago. Death is not the end of life but a break for life to rejuvenate itself. Life and nature are symbiotic. Our actions should not be in conflict with the laws of nature, which is part of the larger cosmos; else, it will be destructive to life.

Abhimanyu Singh retired in 2000, after spending 36 fruitful years in the I.A.S. He handled varied aspects of government and came across people from diverse strata of society. He had started his career as a Lecturer in Patna University. As Visiting Professor at the Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi, and later as Vice Chancellor, Magadh University, he maintained his academic interests. He is a doctorate in Economics and has an M.Sc. from London School of Economics. His first book, Planning for Developing Backward Economy (Vikas, 1988) had three editions—Development Administration, 2005; We Deserve better Governance, 2007 and Public Policy and Life Beyond, 2013.
A Memoir was published subsequently. His collection of poems in English/Hindi, Yearnings/Vednayen was published in 2018. He keeps himself engaged by rendering voluntary service to various bodies and writing. He loves travelling, which provides him insights into actual realities of life. He is a regular visitor to the Americas, where his two daughters have settled down as physicians.
The present book is the result of his deep study and his long and vast experience of people and places, regarding matters which intimately concern most of us, viz. the inevitability of death and happiness, and how the present system in which we live affects our aspirations.
