I got my grand pa’s magnum opus ‘The Advanced History of India’ (co-authored with Nilakanta sasthri)ISBN : 8170231450. It was published in 1970 by Allied publishers. After my gramps passed away, the royalty from this book helped grand ma make ends meet. It is a shame that none of my gramp’s children has bothered to save a copy… I had to scour for it in all book stores and finally got it from firstandsecond.com after almost an year. Finally I have a copy now and I hope I’ll save it for my kids. In this volume I see inspiration, a grand fatherly slap-on-my-back, and a senile and sarcastic laugh at my inability to make headway in my writing. I will write consistently from now on for, my grand pa is home now, to watch over.
