In
1954, as a wide-eyed 17-year old university student (in those pre-Class XII
days), I trudged up and down New Delhi streets, camera in hand, looking for that
decisive moment, to capture the right image. The Holy Grail for a novice
photographer was acceptance by The Statesman for its then iconic Monday column,
'New Delhi Notebook', and my photo that made it (probably in 1956) was taken on
Shah Jahan Road, of a solitary tonga, ambling under a tree canopy, early on a
mist-draped winter morning. That road is home to Dholpur House, the seat of the
Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), the mecca for my ilk; many of us dreamt
of the Foreign or Administrative Service as the pinnacle of our ambition.
