The author's ancestry and upbringing are a blend of the plural strands of India's races, religions and culture . His education in three countries, reinforced this liberal ,cosmopolitan and trusting heritage, which is the backdrop for the unfolding of a diplomat's life in eight different countries. The book recounts the history of dramatic, exciting, and dangerous events , which the author and his family witnessed and in which they were often active participants. Vivid portraits of Presidents, Prime Ministers , Emperors ,Princes , musicians , dancers , poets, actors , business tycoons give this book a uniquely rare texture. This kaleidoscope of eminent leaders and humbler folk ,is enriched and enlivened by a variety of stories and anecdotes which are amusing, poignant and at times inspirational . The author has tried to portray a life which has had the character of a luxuriant garden, with flowers of a myriad hues, stately trees and the scent of freshly mown grass. The pages of the book illuminate the wonder, the beauty ,the joys and the grace of a magnificent garden. He celebrates his garden by counting the flowers that grow rather than by the leaves that fall.
