Like
any other 80's child , I have grown up reading characters like Feluda,
Byomkesh, Kakababu, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Tintin, Asterix and
others. My adolescence has been extensively cultivated by Bengali and
English authors alike.
Thanks to my Grandfather who introduced me to the world
of books, I’ve had a pretty colourful childhood. Imaginations ran wild and life
was never monotonous. Every new book brought a new adventure along with it.
Power of suggestion played a rather pivotal role during these days. No cell
phones, no ipads, no gaming consoles, no malls to hang out, yet I was hardly
ever bored.
Now life has much advancement to offer me, but the
smell of both old and new books act as an instant portal to a new
dimension or may be an old dimension where I have visited before but would not
mind doing it again...
