This book is a labour of love. Girish N Mehra, a retired IAS officer of the 1955 batch, has written this as a tribute to two wonderful people, Boshi Sen and his wife Gertrude Emerson Sen. Boshi Sen was one of the country's leading agricultural scientists, and had a major role to play in making the Green Revolution possible in the country. A man of unquestionable and unshakable faith, he was a devotee of both Sri

Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. His wife Gertrude, whom he met in 1927 in Almora, was a remarkable lady. She was a founding member of the Society of Women Geographers and the founding editor of Asia. Rich with experience, not only does this book tell us about the life and times of these two gentle people, but it also offers a new picture of various important figures such as Gandhi, Nehru, Einstein, Tagore and Carl Jung.
