Bhaichand patel biography of barack

F Scott Fitzgerald liked his tipple and perhaps after a drink or two famously remarked that there are no second acts in our lives.

You are only given one chance for success. That may be true for some. I am now past eighty and well into my third act, having given a few side performances along the way.

Coming from Fiji, he studied in Delhi, went on to London as a lawyer and ended up joining the United Nations to the end of his working life.

    • These days my body aches, my walk is slow and my mind sometimes plays tricks on me. Should I piss or have I already pissed? There are other handicaps best not mentioned here. But, touch wood, I am happy as a lark, surrounded by friends, healthy as one can be at my age.

    I am an agnostic but I do believe someone up there is looking a

    The Man Delhi Loves to Love

    BHAICHAND PATEL IS bald; overweight; can’t hear too well; dances with two left feet and barely lights up any room he enters.

    Of his many pursuits, Bhaichand has been a lawyer; worked at the UN at the expense of poor Fiji; lived in Bombay, London, New York and twice in Delhi. And yet not one place on the planet can he call home.

    And of all the claims he makes to enduring success, he has, as the wicked people would say, been a moderate success: but never modest about that. Which is typical of Bhaichand. In a very Wodehousian manner, Bhaichand erects a statue of himself every morning in the mirror and sadly, as he tells us, it is the only erection he has at this age.

    Bhaichand is blessed that he has a friend in Rahul Singh (Khushwant Singh’s son) because Rahul has rented him a fabulous apartment with a garden which Bhaichand at 80-plus cannot walk in: and all of this for a measly rent.

    This book is anything but an autobiography. He talks about his life, yes, but in a novel manner, describing episodes, people he met and knew, his travels across the world in the work he did. Coming from Fiji, he studied in Delhi, went on to London as a lawyer and ended up joining the United Nations to the end of his working life. He describes in the most light-hearted manner the people he met, the number of countries and cities he travelled to, with 15 years of working in New York, spending eight years of his working life in Delhi, and finally in Manila. After Manila he settled down into a retired life in Delhi — after spending two years in Mumbai exploring the possibility of living there. Not satisfied with Mumbai he moved
