Subsequently, in 1994 based on an intensive study and analysis undertaken by him of the political situation prevailing in our country and the working of Governments and Constitutions of the liberal democracies of the world including the U.S.A., U.K., Germany, France etc., he wrote a book “Quest For A Better Democratic Alternative” which was released by Dr. C. Subramanium, former Union Cabinet Minister and President of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan at a well-attended function. The book had received excellent reviews. In 1999, he joined hands with Late Shri Chimanbhai Mehta (former Union Cabinet Minister) and others and founded National Forum For Presidential Democracy. Both of them in due course came to a firm conclusion that for any such campaign to succeed in the long run and serve the purpose of bringing about the required change in political system, it would be necessary to have a political party solely committed to establish a truly presidential system as an alternative to the present form of parliamentary system of democracy.
In his own professional field of Civil Engineering & Architecture, he has contributed several papers and articles on housing, urbanisation and other related topics in professional journals and other publications besides authorizing a book on ‘High-Rise Buildings’, the first one on the subject in India. He was invited and had presented papers at the World Congress on Tall Buildings held at Paris (1979), Chicago (1985) and Amsterdam (1995) and also in World Conference held in Mumbai (2010). He had also chaired some sessions at all these venues.
