The Unheard I on July 14, 2013

When Dr. Kiriti Sengupta asked me to provide a foreword for his book, stressing its modest extent - almost like an apology meant for me, I became even more intrigued for the content. I had taken part of many of his Indies In Action-group-specific interactions during the preparation and publication of the international charity anthology, Twist of Fate. Still, the first chapter of The Unheard I where he writes about those very experiences, had several surprises for me: his utmost genuine and enthusiastic stance on the entire process had now transformed into deliberations of precision under his keen attention to details. As for the other two chapters, their contents -all new to me, became a delightful learning process when his actual training in Yogic Poetry and his poetic translations are concerned. Yes, it is a modest-size book, as Dr. Sengupta himself noted to me from the outset. It is, however, a very promising work with all its diverse offerings from and about a cultural entity into which, as an English-language reader, we could not have obtained an insight. And what a loss that would have been!
