This book contains the memoirs of a former Fellow of the World Health Organisation who worked for nearly five decades as an Engineer/Manager in Europe, Gulf, and India in Pollution/Environment fields. In this, he has made a ‘no holds barred’ disclosure of the lesser known details of Gulf life, the trials and tribulations of his action-packed decades long professional life dealing mainly with environment/ pollution issues, and his face-off with scourge of the century, the COVID-19 virus. For the young readers, this book should give a telescopic view of what could lie ahead for them, and help them to prepare to meet the life’s challenges head-on with an indomitable spirit. For the seniors, this could be a nostalgic stroll along the path already treaded.
