Julio Ribeiro SUCHARITA TILAK phoned me from New Jersey, US. She wanted to thank me for not failing to remember her father, Vasant Vinayak Nagarkar, who mentored me when I was sent to Broach (now in Gujarat) in 1955 for my practical training as an ASP. I remember her as a baby. Her father had succeeded SP Karnik, another outstanding officer of the First Regular Recruitment Batch, as the SP of Broach. I was staying on the outskirts of the town in a bungalow owned by a Parsi resident that had been vacant for a long time. Karnik had arranged this for me. Nagarkar asked me to move in with him and his family into his allotted bungalow, as he wanted to mentor me not only in policing, but also on many ancillary qualities that made a police officer a true servant of the people. At home, and on tour, Nagarkar talked to me of many things ‘of cabbages and kings’, as Lewis Carroll famously wrote.
