GREYING GRACEFULLY

Our life span has been on the rise over the last two decades still, that has not enabled most of us to grey gracefully. Hardly, a few make a post-retirement plan for old age happiness. This volume is an outcome of several workshops and post-workshop interactions that the author, Dr Siddhartha Ganguli, had recently conducted through his brain-body management organisation Learning Club, deliberating on these aspects of an individual' life.

Senthil, a young and idealistic Indian Forest Service officer from Chennai gets posted to Central India. He is soon exposed to the corruption in the government departments, shady senior officers, mining mafia, naxal menace and human-elephant conflict. When his honesty comes in direct confrontation with the politics of postings and transfers, Senthil is slowly and surely tested. Working in rural hinterlands, he is shocked to see the misery of the tribals, crushed between the naxals and the police. It is not long before he discovers the cruel hollowness of the Maoist ideology. Senthil witnesses the tragedy of elephant menace and much to his heartburn a rogue tusker is marked to be eliminated. Wherever he is posted, Senthil manages to rub the political leaders the wrong way and is shunted out from one post to another. Will he be able to stick to his principles? Will he get support from his superiors? Will his wife Manjula stand by him?

Grain legumes, including common-bean, chickpea, pigeonpea, pea, cowpea, lentil and others, form important constituents of global diets, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Despite this significant role, global production has increased only marginally in the past 50 years. The slow production growth, along with a rising human population and improved buying capacity has substantially reduced the per capita availability of food legumes. Changes in environmental climate have also had significant impact on production, creating a need to identify stable donors among genetic resources for environmentally robust genes and designing crops resilient to climate change. Genetic and Genomic Resources of ...
