The book is a kind of multi-hued diary, a first-person account (by the author) of the life and times of Bhaskar Chakraborty, one of the leading modern poets of Bengal. The book contains six essays, fourteen letters, eight poems, and twenty facsimile images. It effortlessly takes the reader down memory lane and prepares him for a more 'insightful reading' of Bhaskar's poetry.
