In this autobiography, the author narrates the story of his life as a police officer, starting from his childhood, to joining the coveted IPS, and finally to his retirement. As a refugee toddler from Pakistan, his early memories go back to living in a camp in Delhi (India) where his family had moved after the Partition of the subcontinent, until a small quarter was allotted to them. From there, this once mediocre student rose to become a three-star police chief in the elite Indian Police Service, after facing the toughest competition in the entrance examination for the civil services. The author tells the story of the police in India from a ringside view and also a bit about India''s history itself during the last 75 years, the evolution of the political class and the internal challenges that the country faces. How incidents, events and human beings shaped his life takes us on his journey as a police officer and a family man. He also talks of his service to the nation with humility, pride and honour. With its insights, this is surely a motivational book for the younger generation.
