About This Book
This charming memoir of a scholar-turned-institution-builder traverses a wide arc, geographically and thematically. His idyllic boyhood in the Himalaya, his journeys across the country and overseas, his encounters with friends, mentors, and colleagues, his nurturing of a pioneering library-cum-research centre, are all narrated with affection and insight.
--Ramachandra Guha
