Product Overview
This book is a recollection of the author’s childhood memories, where the years 1959–65 are portrayed with deep tenderness through the eyes of a young boy; these memories are not merely a romanticised vision of the past but form a montage of that time through everyday details such as the father’s account ledger, the author’s mathematics notebook, and sleeping wrapped in a quilt while listening to the heavy raindrops falling on a tin roof, within which places like Krishnanagar, Shobhabazar, and Laban Harisabha Para in Shillong exist side by side, and the author, Amit Bhattacharya, is a professor of history at Jadavpur University.
