Shashi Misra was born in 1945 in kanpur, UP. Backed by a gold medal from the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, from where she did a Masters in History, she entered the Indian Administrative Service in 1068 (Maharashtra cadre) and married Ravi, her colleague, a year later. His passing away twenty-one years later, eventually led to an enquiry into the essence of life and its manifest processes. Some of this exploration is reflected in this book.
In the administrative assignment that came her way, mainly in the Sectors of Food, Agriculture the human being has remained center stage — seen as a process that has the potential to achieve optimal refinement. Facets of this perception were there during her childhood and through her married life, but holism of perspective developed after she came into contact with Mr. Dharmendra Mohan Sinha, under whom she began a study of the Geeta.
After her retirement from the IAS in August 2005, Shashi Misra now lives in a sunny suburb of Mussoorie at Barlowganj. She continues to write, train and counsel from that perch. Her other interests include reading, classical music, flower arrangements and cooking, some of which are shared by her two sons and daughter-in-law.
