What Khushwant Singh wrote about me in The Telegraph

A writer in uniform
You need not go through the mill of acquiring a degree or diploma in journalism and work you way up from being a cub reporter, to correspondent, and if you are lucky, becoming an editor. Continue in the job you are doing and start with writing letters to the editor. Editors have big egos; so pick up a singularly bad editorial and write a few lines praising it. It will be published. After a few letters appearing in the papers, move on to writing middles. This needs more skill and a touch of humour. Middles are more widely read than articles or editorials. Once you have established yourself as the master of light, witty pieces, the chances of your being taken on the staff of the paper at a higher level become brighter.
This is roughly the course pursued by my young friend, Rajbir Deswal (46) from village Anta in Jind district of Haryana. He has an MA in English literature and has no trouble with the language. He is in the Indian police service and is currently assistant director of research and development. The itch for writing never left him. Being a police officer, he could not indulge in writing letters to the editor. He skipped that ladder and went straight on to writing middles. He has set up a record of sorts: over 400 middles in different national dailies. Also book reviews, short stories and travelogues. In between, he produced books on Wit and Humour of Haryana; Culture Bright and Dark. He is a strappingly handsome six-footer Haryanvi Jat who could well have become a matinee idol. He prefers to remain a police officer and a man of letters.
