2024 was the birth centenary of renowned artist Sri K.G. Subramanyan, (my teacher at Santiniketan, popularly known as Mani Da among his students). I have written a memoir of him. In this book I have shared my experiences with Mani Da, the process of making his murals at Santiniketan (in which I had an oppurtunity to assist him) with a lot of photographs and drawings by Mani Da which he drew while teaching me, and the letters he wrote to me in later years.
