An Unfinished Journey is the fascinating autobiography of the late Ambassador Yogesh Tiwari, who served in a number of key posts during his long \nand distinguished career. Here, through his revealing anecdotes and lucid accounts of diplomatic life, he produces an insightful history of India’s revolving attitudes toward the world, and the inner functionings of its government. From the Look East policy to India’s nuclear deals, Ambassador Tiwari was on the diplomatic frontlines, and his memoirs are an educative and enjoyable read.”Ambassador Yogesh Tiwari was India’s High Commissioner to Singapore at a \ntime when Singapore’s relationship with India was going through a remarkable transformation. It started when Prime Minister Narasimhao Rao set India on \na new economic path of reform and opening up. In October 1991, Finance Minister Manmohan Singh and Commerce Minister P Chidambaram \nannounced dramatic changes at a seminar in Singapore This was also a time when ASEAN, seeing China’s rise, cozied up to India. Although Tiwari modestly downplayed his own role in all this, he was a quiet and effective facilitator. In his lovely book “An Unifinished Journey”, he recounted a lifetime of service to India - weighing in on the debate within the Ministry of External Affairs (not always successfully, he said, which also meant that his views sometime made a big difference) and furthering its interests overseas. Tiwari writes beautifully. His sketches of the people he met or worked with, including India’s leaders, are a delight to read.
