  • People Like Us Pavan Varma
    PEOPLE LIKE US PAVAN VARMA Preface This book, which brings together the column People Like Us, which I wrote for several months for The Hindustan Times, will give you the examples of people and institutions who have somehow broken through the haze of cynicism, and have contributed in personally satisfying ways to society over and above the normal preoccupations of a metropolis. The examples are largely from in and around New Delhi, but I have not the slightest doubt that they are a representative sample of what a few — alas just a few —are doing elsewhere in India too. These individuals and organizations need your help and involvement. In helping them you will only, in the long run, be helping yourself. The purpose of this book is to try and revive the project of social sensitivity —pivotal for the survival of any civil society. It is a book that can change your life and with it the destiny of India too. I am grateful to Har-Anand Publications who so readily collaborated in the publication of the book. I owe a special note of thanks to Narendra Kumar with whom I first discussed the project, and to his son, Ashish Gosain, who so efficiently brought it to fruition. My gratitude is also due to Rohit Babbar, my colleague, who helped in the making of the columns. I need hardly add that this book would not have been possible but for the fullest cooperation of those who are featured in them. I remain indebted to them. PAVAN K.
