Abhishek ，

I have a bias for this book。 So， this review might not be the best one to look at if you're looking for a balanced POV。I grew up in the 90s Bihar and since my father worked for Bihar government， I know the constraints that people were dealing with in the administration first hand。 But， in every department there were a handful of people who still made the best use of what they had at their disposal。 This is an account of someone who tried to do the right thing at every stage with the resources he I have a bias for this book。 So， this review might not be the best one to look at if you're looking for a balanced POV。I grew up in the 90s Bihar and since my father worked for Bihar government， I know the constraints that people were dealing with in the administration first hand。 But， in every department there were a handful of people who still made the best use of what they had at their disposal。 This is an account of someone who tried to do the right thing at every stage with the resources he had。There were so many highlights for me in the book， the self belief while preparing for the exam， the endurance during the training days， the tactical and strategic decision making while solving cases， building an organisation for achievable results， stakeholder management （good and the bad）， trust in doing the right thing， I can go on and on but you get the idea。 The book is littered with leadership lessons for anyone at any level which can be applied equally。 What I especially loved was the structure of the second half of the book。 Each case was unfolding in the same way as it would've for the author。 We as audience know exactly the same information as Mr。 Lodha trying to solve the case。 These stories then gives one a thrill of reading a Sherlock homes story。 Having been admirer of the beaurocrats of the country， I can see why they're so rigorously tested and prepared。 Because， doesn't matter what they have studied or trained for， the reality on the ground would be totally different。 The only real weapon they have is their wit and courage。 Mr。 Lodha demonstrated that while handling the mobs multiple times， facing the bullets by leading operations， using unusual methods for investigation and sometimes even challenging the norms by taking on thr big boss himself。Among all the qualities， the one thing that makes this book great is that it's funny in parts。 The tension is build up and released in quite a rhythmic manner。 For someone's 2nd book， this is just brilliant。 It's a compelling read and it has given me an appetite to read more about my home state in detail。 What a privilege to have a peek behind the curtain of this wonderful life。 I would just like to thank him for his service and the wonderful account he's written。 It allowed someone like me to experience an extraordinary life vicariously。Looking forward for his next one。 。。。more

LIFE IN THE UNIFORM （REVIEW） As a reader and an amateur fiction writer， I've always been fascinated by a lot of people and characters I've met。 Never has been a non fictional book felt so much intriguing， and amazing as LIFE IN THE UNIFORM by @amitlodha。The book keeps you thoughtful and laughing at the same time。 A perfectly balanced tale of dramatic thrill， humour and of course a lot of hardwork。 Of all the underlying lessons you perceive while reading it， 'The harder you work， the luckier you LIFE IN THE UNIFORM （REVIEW） As a reader and an amateur fiction writer， I've always been fascinated by a lot of people and characters I've met。 Never has been a non fictional book felt so much intriguing， and amazing as LIFE IN THE UNIFORM by @amitlodha。The book keeps you thoughtful and laughing at the same time。 A perfectly balanced tale of dramatic thrill， humour and of course a lot of hardwork。 Of all the underlying lessons you perceive while reading it， 'The harder you work， the luckier you get' is sure to be the most striking， or so as I feel it to be。 Most if the plot is built and developed in Bihar， breaking most of the preconceptions people outside of Bihar probably carry along with them all the time， without of course tampering with reality。 The first half of the book keeps its readers hooked to it， given its excellent narration。 It is about the life of a college student passionate about the civil services and what challenges lie ahead after he is offered a prestigious position in Indian police services。 @amitlodha sir brings to you true and unadulterated first hand accounts of what is it like to train at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel national police academy， the bitter training periods and sweet moments of victory and fun。 The second half is equally amazing to read。 It puts forward the day to day challenges faced by the officers， the writer seems to enjoy all the cases， nevertheless。 Undoubtedly， it is a wonderful tale of optimism and valour teaching all of us to seek pleasure in every opportunity life has to offer。 As a piece of non fiction， I'd highly recommend it to all my friends who someday aspire to join the civil and police services and also to those who cannot be a part of it but would nonetheless enjoy perceiving the world through a different and logical perspective。 。。。more
