The painter paints away the day - A civil servant remembers - Rakesh Agarwal - Bog

Rakesh Agarwal drives the reader through the memories of his childhood, his friends and relations, and his city, Allahabad-its festivals, its colours, its changing seasons, buildings, and markets, and its slow-paced life. His long school and university days evoke nostalgia in every heart. His life in the IAS in the MP cadre depicts the true picture of the bureaucracy and some true-to-life portrayals. His spiritual quest continues. His nature paintings have taken him places. His thriving interest is in painting and photography.
