I Wanted to Grow Chocolates in the Woods

A Civil Servant's Courageous Journey to Survive

By: Anoop Bhalla

A Hands-On Forest Bureaucrat Pens an Insightful Memoir After an illustrious career spanning four decades, in the famed Indian Forest Service, the author introduces readers to a bold, and thought-provoking debut memoir. The memoir is a delightful ride as a docile, courageous introvert hailing from a middle-class family, explores the maze of bureaucracy and evolves into a passionate, professional forester. It is a work of deep reflection blended with mesmerizing storytelling and candid honesty. Nothing has been held back from the reader to give the common citizen a vivid picture of the challenging world of a forester along with inner happenings of the Indian bureaucracy. With unflinching honesty, Dr. Bhalla describes his triumphs and disappointments, both on public and personal fronts. The author’s story proves that nothing can stop a dream in one's heart if one has the courage of conviction and an unstinting belief in oneself. This painful journey of a Bureaucrat pierces your heart. Several pertinent questions will arise in the reader's mind if citizen expectations are to be met: • Is a career in bureaucracy a bed of roses or a crown of thorns? • Is there recognition for excellence and independent thinking? • Is the current system of the generalist ruling over the specialist effective? • Does India's bureaucracy have a dark underbelly? • Dr. Bhalla's memoir is inspirational and mystical. A must-read for civil service aspirants, budding bureaucrats and change leaders. Taking a cue from the author- Be the change you want to see in the world of bureaucracy.

High Resolution Palaeoclimatic Changes in Selected Sectors of the Indian Himalaya by Using Speleothems

Past Climatic Changes Using Cave Structures

By: Anoop Kumar Singh

This thesis encompasses a study of past precipitation patterns based on six cave stalagmites from different parts of the Indian Himalaya. This is the first speleothem study in the Indian Himalaya that shows a direct relationship between past precipitation and the collapse of civilization. The stalagmites examined were KL-3 from Jammu and Kashmir; TCS and BR-1 from Himachal Pradesh; and DH-1, SA-1 and CH-1 from Uttarakhand. Based on the high-resolution palaeoclimatic reconstruction (35 U/th dates, 5 AMS dates, 1,500 samples for δ18O and δ13C values) obtained for the duration of the Pleistocene–Holocene transition (16.2–9.5 ka BP) and Mid-Holocene–Present (ca. 4.0 ka BP–Present), three major events were identified, namely the Older Dryas (OD), Bølling–Allerød (BA) period and Younger Dryas (YD) at ca. 14.3–13.9, 13.9–12.7 and 12.7–12.2 ka BP, respectively. The study showed a gradual reduction in the precipitation from 4 ka BP onwards for about a millennium with a peak arid period between 3.2 and 3.1 ka BP. According to the findings, the LIA (Little Ice Age) covers a time span from 1622–1820 AD, during which the climate was wetter than that in the post-LIA period (1820–1950 AD). In addition, this thesis supports the assumption that the WDs (Western Disturbances) contribute significantly to the total rainfall in the Himalaya region.
