Dinesh .N. Verma
The author, Dinesh Verma, a former Indian Information Service Officer, got into writing with his first book , a collection of short stories, based on events which he encountered during his long journey from his life in his home town Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, to the metropolitan life of Delhi, from exuberant youth to the sagging years after superannuation as a Senior Government functionary with stints twice at Bar. His second foray into writing yielded a different creation, a concept book throwing a seemingly innovative look at the human condition in an entertaining manner. Now, this is his fourth book after the Hindi version of Short Stories published earlier.
