Travails and Ecstasy of a Geologist Addicted to the Himalaya
Geology is the least popular science, often confused with zoology. Those who know, relate it to minerals, little realising about the efforts needed for mineral discoveries and the arduous life of a geologist, particularly in the remote and rugged terrains of the Himalaya, when roads and communications were non-existent. The book focuses on a profession few are aware of, the functioning of the Geological Survey of India, loneliness, life-threatening, thrilling, and hilarious moments in a geologist’s life, a bit of the author’s private life, and experience in Pakistan and the Fossil Fraud scandal. The gripping narration would fascinate youngsters to opt for geology and adventures it promises.
