The ancient civilizations of India create an enchantment in me. Age-old Indian philosophy, history, religion, folk-art & culture, stir the very core of my mind. In every nook and corner of my home state, West Bengal, folk climes have its presence felt. Hence my utmost sincerity is to house the dew and dust strewn jewels into my compositions. BHASKAR LAHIRI
