Nilanjan Show: In a small village where I grew up, surrounded by small mud houses and greenery, I never realized that I would come out of such a small place. My village is very close to Santiniketan. I grew up with a lot of care, but growing up was not easy for me. just as the water flows to the Kopai River, I have come out slowly, year after year: I have grown up with the love and affection of my mother. Since my childhood, I have seen only the sports, the open air, and the nature of the village. I remember my mother used to listen to Rabindra Sangeet and I used to sit next to my aunt to draw pictures. But I never understood how drawing slowly came to me...I remember when I was a child I didn't understand what I was drawing. All faces, Strange colors of flowers, Strange colors of all trees, Strange colors of the sky. I couldn't understand anything.
