About the book
Autobiography of N.Athimoolam IAS (R)
I have read this book . It’s an inspiring one for any individual who hails from rural India . Holding Government office is such a challenging task but it can be manoeuvred gracefully by being neutral in your approach . That is what the author has proven in his life which has been brought out as a book . I as his son in law , know him for 25 years . Seen him breathe & live his job . His straight forwardness has been appreciated by his colleagues too. I have seen his colleagues addressing him with great honour in public meetings and I used to wonder what he would have done to gain this respect among his colleagues. This book revealed those secrets . After I read this I feel I missed to be an IAS officer . A wonderful book written in simple English amazing presentation. Every part of his career is a thriller to observe . He has executed his duties with deep involvement in a fearless manner . I can keep writing like this ..... sincerely my views aren’t biased . When you read you will love it . Best wishes for this book to become a best seller soon . Sincerely , Saravanaraja
