RESTLESS CHRONICLES OF A POLICEMAN (HB)

V.R. Sampath leaves his
comfort zone the moment it gets too comfortable. Now retired but still a
seeker, Sampath’s life is governed by freedom and knowledge. He left a
stress-free bank job to join the highly demanding Indian Police Service and
then quit the police force at a very senior position to seek challenges in
the corporate world. In the corporate world, he rubbed shoulders with the
likes of Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, G.M. Rao and Gautam Adani. If he had a
close-up view of how political and administrative power worked during his
police days, he got to know the world of money power during his stint in the
biggest corporates in India. In Restless, Sampath talks about his life and
his encounters with the ‘Indian way of life’. Through his varied experiences,
he feels that India is on survival mode even after seventy years of
independence. This struggle for survival has made Indians devoid of trust,
compassion and humanity, more often than not. Then, how does one survive? The
book takes an honest and hard look at the definition of success and
happiness. Sampath believes that people need to keep reinventing themselves
constantly. That is the only way to keep the spirit alive.
