About the Author

Anjan Kumar Chatterjee, an alumnus of the prestigious Presidency College (now University) in Kolkata, holds a doctorate degree from Moscow State University in Russia, and has spent more than five decades in academia, corporate directorship and various international assignments.

He is a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and has been conferred lifetime achievement awards by several professional bodies. He has many awards and publications to his credit including books authors and edited by him. One of his many diverse passions is to indulge in literary activities and to give vent to his own ways of looking at the surroundings and the world at large.

There have been sporadic publications to this effect. He is a regular contributor to a travel magazine. Recently, a collection of his poems, both in English and Bengali, entitled Abasor Binodan (The Leisure Fillers) has been published.

About The 1st book

The book is built up on autobiographical stories of travels in various parts of the globe, capturing in its frame the geographical settings, the layman’s geology, the historical anecdotes, some anthropological findings, narration of relevant social and academic environments, and description of stunning landscapes.
This is primarily based on the author’s personal diaries spanning over a few decades. The book is pictorial, and the author consolidated his narrations in sixteen independent chapters. The book starts with the author’s growing up in the suburbs of Kolkata, and his education in Presidency College, now University, in Kolkata and later in the erstwhile Soviet Union.
The book also narrates the unique features of the USA, the Swiss Alps, the Scandinavia, China, Africa, Australia and Middle East. The contents, however, are not designed to provide any travel guide. The book is totally apolitical. It focuses on the author’s penchant for knowing and sharing diversity of the world through irresistible wanderlust.

About The 2nd book

The book is an anthology of personal memoirs, spanning a few decades of unraveling the urban heritage of three top Indian metropolises – Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. It is based on cherry-picking of stories narrated by the travel guides at heritage sites, scholarly talks and seminars, personal interactions with archaeological experts, and visits to museums and libraries. The stories are neither imaginary nor apocryphal. They rely on relics and structures that are real, mostly in a dilapidated state, and can be visited with a little pain and patience. The book, however, does not claim to be a historical documentation, nor a travel guide. It is meant for those who love to indulge in exploring the enriching legacy of the past from the tidings of antiquity and stitching them in a continuum of time we live through.
