Meeting Surendra Uncle and listening to his story felt like sitting with a life shaped by curiosity, discipline, and an unshakeable pursuit of knowledge. From the lanes of Udaipur to traversing cities, departments, and responsibilities within the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), his journey is one of learning with humility and purpose.
As we worked on โIn Quiet Pursuitโ and its Hindi translation, โเคเค เคธเคนเค เคธเคพเคงเคจเคพ: เคกเฅ เคเคธ. เคเคธ. เคญเคเคกเคพเคฐเฅ เคเฅ เคชเฅเคฐเฅเคฐเคฃเคพเคธเฅเคชเคฆ เคเฅเคตเคจ เคฏเคพเคคเฅเคฐเคพโ, we were reminded of something that resonates deeply with the work that we do.
With every book, we realise how the final outcome slowly, almost unknowingly, becomes a reflection of the person themselvesโtheir values, their journeys and their way of being. Almost like an extension of who they are. Seeing this book come so close to Surendra Uncleโs essence fills us with immense pride and gratitude. Knowing that we were able to honour his life in a way that feels true to him and to his family, means everything to us! ๐ค
Released on his 80th birthday, surrounded by his sons, their families, siblings, and loved ones, this book now belongs where it always did: with the people who have walked alongside his journey.
A life lived in quiet pursuit.
A story now preserved, forever.
