New Delhi, March 21 What does one say about a multi-faceted individual whom one had known for close to four decades? That he was kind of 'bindaas' and yet focused; that he loved his tipple and yet it never came in the way of his equanimity; that he could have risen to be the editor of one of India's leading English dailies but took a calculated risk and plunged into politics, a move that saw him eventually following in his father's footsteps to reinforce India's ties with a distant Pacific island nation; that above all, he remained rooted to the ground in spite of the many accolades that came his way?

It is, thus, quite appropriate that Ajay Singh's posthumously-published autobiography should be titled "Fiji: A Love Story – Memoirs of an Unconventional Diplomat"
