About the Book

: The book delves into the elusive nature of memory, likening it to a painter crafting subjective images rather than objective historical records. The author reflects on concealed facets of personal experiences, suggesting that much of our internal "studio" remains hidden. Shifting to the author's childhood, the narrative portrays the oppressive nature of authority. The author challenges the belief that the powerful are impervious to suffering, emphasizing the perspective of the oppressed. The passage concludes with a nostalgic remembrance of a cheerful companion, Srikantha Babu, whose simple and contented demeanor left a lasting impact. It then recounts the author's unexpected journey to England, starting in Ahmedabad, where his brother served as a judge. Exploring the empty Shahibagh palace, the author encountered a splendid edition of Tennyson's works in a room filled with books, finding a silent companion in its picture plates. The narrative shifts to the author's experience of European music culture, contrasting it with Indian perspectives. Additionally, the passage touches on literary pursuits, including the concept of a Literary Academy, and concludes with the acquisition of a steel hulk for a steamship, symbolizing both ambition and eventual challenges.
