Chandigarh born bureaucrat, Mr. Vipul Mittra, IAS, who currently holds the portfolio of Secretary Tourism and Civil Aviation, in the State of Gujarat, released his debut fiction 'Pyramid of Virgin Dreams'.
Published by Rupa Publications, 'virgin dreams' basically connote unfulfilled aspirations of a bureaucrat which is like a pyramid, narrow from top and broad from the bottom, explains Vipul Mittra. Vipul Mittra explained that it is a funny satire around the life of Kartikeya Kukreja, the protagonist of the book and a bureaucrat who sees life around him in a quirky, sardonic manner.
It is the story of a middle class boy, his growing years, and his perceptions of bureaucracy and society. The story oscillates between Kartikeya's dreams and reality, and describes his fantasies, unfulfilled virgin dreams and the happenings within and outside the pyramid of bureaucracy. Several characters, including Kartikeya's immediate family, his college sweetheart and his very own conscience by the name of 'Selfmusing', find a place in the narrative.
From a child to an adult and a bureaucrat, it is a story told differently with candour and ample tongue-in-cheek humor. The book has resulted from my own experiences to a large extent, but this creative urge had been there even before I joined the service and lingered on till date, Vipul said.
