?Every person has a story. That story will often feature a village and in that village, ahome. My story, being no different, starts with my village, Chamtha...[which] standsat the sangam-the confluence-of four districts: Patna, Samasthipur, Begusarai andVaishali.?Anjani Kumar Singh?s memoir begins with these lines. In the pages that follow,we witness a remarkable life unfolding-a life that is a?sangam? of traditionand modernity, of formal education and lessons learnt through encounterswith the diverse worlds of Bihar and India, of professional commitment andpersonal conviction, of public service and private passions.Together withfascinating insights about the challenges and satisfactions of governance anddevelopment work, Singh also shares his experiences of travelling across Indiaand abroad, building one of the world?s finest collections of rare plants, and-his shining achievement-setting up the splendid Bihar Museum, a home forboth classical and contemporary South Asian art, which compares with thebest in the world.This book is among the most engaging and unusual memoirs of a publicservant you will read.
