[I have worked myself into a worse-than-usual blogger's block. [For example, see this]. I am trying to get out, and you might see a series of small posts in this space in near future, but let's leave that for later and see what we have today].
Recently I finished reading I too had a dream by Verghese Kurien. The name is not as well known as it should be. Mr. Kurien was the architect of the white revolution (popularly known as Operation Flood), the project that propelled our country to self sufficiency in milk and derived products. Kurien is the guy behind 'Amul' and 'Dhara', household names today. He is straightforward and blunt in his writing, mincing words neither in criticism nor praise. I found the book a riveting read. I have often heard the opinion that all our heroes lived before the independence. I knew of one glaring exception, Kalam. Now there is one more.
Thanks to Zarin for sharing the book with me.
Enjoy!
