"Is there anyone who hasn’t loved or lost a dear one or experienced both? Is there anyone who does not get flashes of memories from childhood every now and then, or just wonder at how the world one read about or saw as sci-fi is now leaping towards reality? Is there anyone who does not feel outraged by the lack of humaneness on display at times? Is there anyone who has not asked this question to themselves, ""Where am I? What am I doing?"" Watch the Nib Dance is an anthology of poems traversing through a range of areas and emotions - nature, society, war, peace, gender issues, law, love, grief, finding oneself, and nostalgia. Poetry is much like dance - you can learn a thousand techniques but when you actually start dancing, it innately flows. That is what happens when you put pen to paper - whatever it is that has left an impression on your senses, soul or conscience, finds its way out. That is where the poetry in this book comes from. It will resonate with some part of you - personal or professional, or just by virtue of being human - for words are powerful enough to stir what lies beneath."

Despite the critical role played by the Supreme Court of India, the lives of the judges have never been studied before. This seminal book presents biographical essays for each of the first ninety-three judges who served on the Court from 1950 through mid-1989. The essays in the book are based on interviews the author conducted with sixty-four of the sixty-eight judges who were alive in the 1980s, and on meetings and correspondence with family members or relatives, friends, and associates of the deceased judges. An attempt is made to account for why certain judges rather than others were chosen, the selection criteria employed and, to the extent possible in a secretive selection environment, to identify those who selected them. It concludes with a collective portrait of these judges, paying particular attention to changes in their background characteristics—fathers' occupation, education, pre-SCI career, caste, religion, state of birth, and region, over four decades. The essays also embrace their post-retirement activities.
