| Introduction | I grew up in Cuttack and graduated from Ravenshaw College. I did my Master’s from Utkal University, Bhubaneshwar and another from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. I have written in The Statesman, The Times of India, Indian Express, The Telegraph, Hindustan Times, New Indian Express, Financial Express, Illustrated Weekly of India, among others. I have authored two books on bureaucracy: Babudom: Catacombs of Indian Bureaucracy (Rupa, 2004; Reprinted 2005); Babulog: Vignettes of Indian Bureaucrats (Rupa, 2005; Reprinted 2005). My short story collection - Babuspeak and Other Stories (Rupa) - was published in 2007. Anatomy of a Tumour: A Patient's Intimate Dialogue with the Scourge was published by Hay House in 2013. I worked in New Delhi as Addl Secy & Financial Advisor in the Ministry of Environment & Forests, thereafter as Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA) and then as Financial Advisor (Defence Services) in the Ministry of Defence before retiring on May 31, 2016. The views expressed here are wholly personal and not of any Ministry/Department I worked in at any point in time. |
