Description

The contents of ‘Fragments of an Unbroken Mirror’ are as intriguing as the title itself. Beginning with vibrant paintings of the colonial city of Calcutta and its people in the 1950s, the memoir moves on to the quaint university town Santiniketan and the magical Bengal countryside. Since then, besides vast political changes, a relentless march of technology—from nylon and transistors to the Internet and AI—has changed the way we live and think. The short slick fast-paced stories filled with humour and light adventure take you along an incredible journey through an era that was so near, yet so unbelievably distant!
