Anupam Chattopadhyay (born in 1956) was trained as an electrical engineer, a vocation that served merely as a means of his subsistence. But intrinsically, he always remained an aesthete, and despite the stringent commitments of his professional pursuit, he has composed lyrics and music for three hundred songs, penned one hundred and fifty poems, twenty short stories, four operas and one novel, till now. The present literary work is his maiden endeavour in the English language. He loves to travel and explore mysteries of nature, the history of development of places and their aborigines. He lives in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta).
