Growing up - I was always awed by the Marble
Rocks (gorge) of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Sitting on a mule and going to
the bottom of Grand Canyon (of Colorado) gave me a different awww! - but
what GRAND sights!! :)
Having done extensive flying duties in the IAF, on retirement I was
looking forward to a more down to earth and peaceful life. Life is nothing
if not full of surprises. I am flying even more in India and US, and busy
with my work of creative writing. Now writing about birds, travelogues,
articles on scientific and environmental subjects in Hindi, and Upanishads
take most of my time, that is whatever is left after giving discourses on
Upanishads.
8 books of mine have been published since my retirement, taking the total
to 11. (Anand panchi niharan ka - published by NBT, Beghar - An
anthology of poems - pub. BSS) Also a Chapter on Upanishads in the 'World
Encyclopedia of Hinduism' ( being Published from the US).
Some Awards:
IAF honors - Both Indo-Pak wars. Two awards by the President of India.
One by the Vice President, Defence Minister, Tourism Minister, and Chief
Minister of Delhi. Hindi Service Award USA by the International Hindi
Association, New York.
Recently the American Biographical
awarded me ' Man of the year' for 2004
