"Mukund Bhokarkar is a multifaceted personality. On one hand he deals with engineering, automation, leads a dynamic multinational organization, travels 25 days of the month, and lives out of a travel bag, and on the other hand he writes about complex issues of life, sports, science, and the human mind ... He begins his book with a wonderful characterisation of Rajiv Murlidhar Joshi (Raju) and then travels through an airport and A-320 aeroplane and the effects of acquiring either a window seat or an aisle seat(!), writes about perspective and knowledge, touches upon violence which appears to have become a fact of life and many more topics which are very divergent from each other. But that is the only way to get a complete feel of Mukund Bhokarkar. He lucidly dwells upon sports and captures man/woman's big moment ... when a lifelong dream is either realized or crashes in a million pieces of a shattered dream! When reading his piece about the swimmer who lost the Olympic medal in the final round, you will be left completely breathless. There is so much force in his writing that the words will hammer you like a sledgehammer. Mukund Bhokarkar has a unique style of capturing drama in a given situation. He races through the incident but then takes his own time to describe with precision the dramatic moments. Sports is Mukund's forte. Swimming, pole vault, athletics and last but not least cricket are passions for him. He studied these sports and has acquired a huge amount of background information and anecdotes which provide complete authenticity to his writing. Mukund Bhokarkar will not write unless he has done complete research of the topic at hand. That is Mukund for you.
