Dear Shankar
I have just finished reading your book. Could not put it down once I started. I graduated from BMC in 1969 and was intrigued to see my name sake as your best friend! This ‘fiction’ beats any real event. Congratulations- for your story telling, fortitude and courage of convictions.
Best wishes
