A Chronology of Men, Matters and Events chronicles seven decades of history, banking and economics, both in India and overseas from the perspective of the author, who is also, incidentally, a poet. The book records the author's recollections from his life as a young child and as a student at the DAV College, Lahore in undivided India. He narrates his impressions of Mahatma Gandhi, the Punjab National Bank, Central Bank of India, Lala Yodhraj, and the Dalmia Jain Group. The book further analyzes India's leaders post-independence and other eminent personalities in independent India. The author's association with the Central Bank of India until his unceremonious termination by Indira Gandhi, coinciding with the imposition of the infamous Emergency in 1975, form an important part of this book. The book also highlights the author's advisory role in TCS, his experiences as an international banker in Dubai, and his experiences in London where he was deputed to unearth and investigate a major fraud at the Central Bank of India, which provide an interesting glimpse into a major international banking fraud at the relevant time.
