 “Grasshopper’s Dream and Other Poems” written by Dr. Shyamal Chakrabarti (price Rs 50/-) contains 35 poems spread over 62 pages and is full of fun. As many as 22 of the poems circle around Hijli and the neighbouring villages whose idyllic beauty and people are the subject of these poems. Stanley Brush, the son the first priest of Southside's Union Church (born 1925 in Kharagpur)and a retired professor of History in the US writes the poet, “I do enjoy reading your lively and most original poems. You have a wonderful imaginative way with metaphors and can put yourself into the psyche of your subjects. Also a lively sense of humor. It’s hard to think of you as a physics and maths person. You manifest a multifaceted awareness of the world. It’s a privilege to be part of your ‘circle’.” For anyone who takes pride in calling himself a Kgpian, this is unputdownable.
