My Memoir - "A Village Boy's Journey" - is in three volumes. Volume one has been published as an International and Indian edition by Partridge Publishers and as a British edition by Troubador Publishers. Volume two and three will be published, in full colour with 60 plus photographs, as E-Book, Paperback and hardback, in sequence, soon after the publication of volume one. In this mini-chapter I am going to describe here, briefly, the subject matter of the three volumes. Volume One - Subtitle: "Journey begins from childhood to becoming a surgeon". In this volume I tell the stories from my early childhood in British ruled India as the first born in a rich Zamindar family, where I was destined to run the estate including the Zamindari. I was trained to start taking part in the running of the estate while I was in the middle school in the village. Later, I went to the High School in the capital of Bihar province, Patna and then to study Medicine to Agra. I passed MBBS degree with Honours and Master in Surgery (MS) degree. From the week after my graduation, I had full registration with Indian Medical Council and with the General Medical Council, London. I started work as Senior House Officer in the Department of Surgery couple of weeks after my graduation. In volume one there are several stories about management of seriously injured and ill patients including the cases of "Bride Burning" and several cases of attempted murders as well as my efforts in improving management of patients with Tetanus and those with burns. Volume two - subtitle: "Neurosurgeon's life: 1 mm between life and death; but you are of the wrong colour". In this volume, I tell the story of my journey from New Delhi, where I had started specialising in neurosurgery, to England to obtain senior training in good Departments of neurosurgery.

Volume three - subtitle: "Journey to Saudi Arabia and prodigal's return to England to face brush with the law". This volume describes stories from my life and work in Saudi Arabia where I did not, only, modernised practice of I neurosurgery but also changed the course of medical practice against their perceived custom and religion but with the sensitivity. This included getting criteria of Brain Death established in law, getting regional anaesthesia for people with judicial chopping of right hand with proper refashioning of the amputated site, obtaining permission for Saudi female Interns and Residents to stay during night-time in protected female residency etc. I returned to England in April 2007 and started work as neurosurgical medicolegal expert in cases with injury to the Central Nervous system and Spine so as to get the proper justice and maximum monetary award to the injured patient through the court of law.
