Working as a police officer in the police service, I had to play my role by being at the centre of many important events; my aim, here, has also been to record my memories of some such incidents. In an autobiography, not only the personality but also entire time period emerges. There is no direct path to understand life. Understanding life is a continuous search, which can be known only by trial and error.In my view, the meaning of patriotism is to have utmost respect and infinite pride and honour towards one's motherland and also to discharge one's duty with honesty, in a broader perspective. Love for one's country, integrity towards it, pride of being a Bharatiya and feeling of sacrifice for the country are the main qualities for patriotism.One must take interest and seek pride in the history of one's nation. It has three advantages for sure. First, a person understands history in the true sense; second, a feeling of patriotism and nationalist outlook develops; and third, one gets freedom from the burden of history. But history should be analysed in such a way that it are easily acceptable to us like the present that we experience ourselves.This autobiography of mine should inculcate patriotism, life values, traditions and beliefs in our young generation and motivate them to work for the nation, then only the motive of writing and publishing the book will be achieved.
