Pramod Kumar Gupta, an exemplary officer of the Indian Revenue Service and a former CEO of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India expresses his thoughts on sundry issues confronting the nation today. 'Living Through Times',the title of the book encapsulates the contents of the book. Having survived a Stroke in April, 2021, Gupta says it was like 'life interrupted and life regained' for him. Last year he had penned down his thoughts primarily on life and relationships and his book titled 'And Living Again' was published. For him writing has been no means to an end, it has been an end in itself. As an irrepressible writer, he has now compiled his thoughts on issues which have been contemporaneous with India since 1947. Pramod Kumar Gupta believes that everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity. Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. So, he talks about books which had a lasting impact on human minds. The controversies about the Jawaharlal Nehru University, corruption so endemic to India, the genesis and relevance of the bureaucracy, the way ahead for the IRS, the perennial issue of Secularism, the message of Ayodhya, nostalgia for places,all find a place in the book. A thinking Indian may agree here and have a different view there, but it is worth a perusal.
