Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you don’t realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself. Vipul Mittra (IAS)| Pyramid of Virgin Dreams by Vipul Mittra (best autobiographies to read .txt) 📖

Pyramid of Virgin Dreams
It all begins with the bumpy Jonga ride in the woods—his childhood illegal poaching expedition under the patronage of a band of idle cops, to bring in a full partridge and half-a-black-buck to conjure up the dinner for his father's boss. That day, eight-year-old Kartikeya Kukreja solemnly swears that one day he too would be revered as ‘IAS’.
Kartikeya eventually discovers the secret of his father's fawning subordinates’ wriggling their way up the pyramid. When it is his turn, Kartikeya himself experiences a similar hilarious predicament. Idiotically, he sees time rush by through a lifetime spent in inanities, and all but feels like the redundant antique table that moves out with him on his every transfer!
The web of Revati’s elusive dreams tantalises him, and his wife and children bring him back to the real world. Will he juggle the two well, or lose himself in it forever?
Pyramid of Virgin Dreams is a refreshingly original rendition of the slippery life in the bureaucracy. The book is spunky and replete with comical imageries drawn from a farcical, albeit hopeful India.
