Balakrishna Kamath is a 71 year old former Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer. He has a commendable
record of service in IB which is evident from the fact that he is a recipient of the coveted national level honours such
as the Indian Police Medal (awarded on the Independence Day of the year 2000) and President’s Police Medal
(awarded on the Independence Day of the year 2006).
A passionate writer, Kamath used find time in the midst of his demanding work schedule, to scribble little
private notes on happenings that he used to witness in his everyday life. Despite his passion for writing, being in
Government service, Kamath had no opportunity to write for open media. It was only after he hung up his
professional boots that he started writing, mainly fiction, for public domain.
