Books

 Everything that is of use to me in life I have learned during early life, including my love of books. My parents had filled the house with books, newspapers and magazines. Illustrated children's books (Russian publications) and Enid Blyton fired the imagination. Covering books for the new school session was big exercise. Mother would make glue with maida in a big vessel and rolls of brown paper were brought and we were given blunt scissors and learnt to cover the books. Today's children won't know what that experience was all about! Back then books were the 'portals' that helped you escape into every possible world you could imagine. Still do. Managed to write, edit and help publish a few books over the past thirty five years. I was always lucky to land book projects early in my career.   

                                 

ICMR NIN Coffee Table Book: This coffee table book brings you the story of the growth of an institution that looks at the nation’s food, its eating habits, various diets, food fallacies, fads and fetishes. The book is a visual history of NIN’s scientific achievements and historic milestones.  It also aims to educate the common public on the role of NIN in moulding the nation’s dietary health.
