A JOURNEY OF HONESTY: AN EXTRAORDINARY ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE OF PROF. E. BALAGURUSAMY
ABOUT THE BOOK :
The story of a man whose life is based on three golden principles—character, courage and
commitment
The son of a poor farmer from Tamil Nadu, Prof. E. Balagurusamy overcame innumerable hardships
to become not only an academician par excellence but also a role model for those who want to
journey through life with honesty and integrity.
This book is not a mere chronology of events from Prof. Balagurusamy’s life. In these pages,
seemingly mundane events assume great significance, offering unique insights into his life, thoughts
and actions. This is a testimony of his legacy as an eminent academician, an outstanding educational
administrator and an internationally acclaimed writer of books on information technology (IT).
Discover various facets of a remarkable man—a scholar who did not hesitate to cross swords with
even his guide to get what was rightfully his; an administrator who stuck to the path of honesty in spite of temptations; a vice-chancellor who always prioritized welfare of students and teachers; an
administrator who did not hesitate to take action against wrongdoers; a great visionary revolutionizing
computer education in India; and a man who believed that wealth and money are to be shared,
not hoarded.
A Journey of Honesty will inspire people from different walks of life to pursue excellence regardless
of the obstacles.
