Book Title - KARMAYOGI: A biography of E. Sreedharan
Author - M.S. Ashokan
Genre - Bio
My Rating - 3/5
Well surely this book is not that widely known as the man being talked in the book. We all know the great things done by this celebrated Engineer now more commonly known as the metro man of India. The spectacle which is the Delhi Metro wouldn't perhaps been possible without such a passionate and dedicated personality. But then most people do not know the fact that this man has always been brilliant in this field.
In his long and fruitful career in the Indian railways he has achieved many impossibles taking it to an altogether different level. The Konkan Railways, the Pampan Bridge , just to name a few. But there are numerous other projects which showcase his brilliance as a technocrat. He is perhaps the best role model not just to the engineers joining the government but perhaps to all the public servants and beyond. The dedication and commitment he had for the job, if there are even 100 people like him in the services, the country would surely gallop forward.
It also answers the apprehensions some candidates have before they join the government. Will I be able to work fearlessly and do my bit without being dragged into the mud. Well, if you are to follow the foot steps of this legend in questions, surely this would seem like a simple choice that you and only you can make. The book also talks of those sad cross roads which one cannot avoid. But the point is that we need to continue to strive for the better pastures.
The book actually goes beyond the work spheres of E. Sreedharan and also presents the family dimension which very few people know about. But again there is lots to learn on that front as well. And you see that divine connection between one's personal and professional ethics. Whatever disguise you may use for your profession, you essentially remain the same person and you cannot stop the reflections.
This book is a MUST read for all those joining or aspiring to join the public service. India needs today people like him in all nooks and corners of governance and administration.
