My Fav Author> trivias-Sarat Chandra was a social reformist type author..,used to judge everything by practicality and not what the society says.he was straight forward-restless-tramp type adventurer,wrote against unjustices of contemporary indian society.could not bear the sight of sorrows of common people-he was involved in national freedom movement of india-he was a very proffessional writer beacause he was VERY poor and orphaned at a young age inheriting nothing except father's restless spirit and keen interest in literature making him a dreamer all his life.and.he had other talents like singing-acting in dramaloved playing chess.learnt french..he did not believe in superstitions,he was a thin tall man, often had illness-died of liver cancer[also had heart desiase] at the age of 62 after prolonged illness.he was no god himself and had bad habits[like smoking,drinking,etc] but he was a genius anyway-he is extremely popular in india mainly west bengal and bengalees.. He was a very mischievous child, and his teachers tolerated him only because he was too brilliant for his age. He joined hand with his equally unruly friends and formed a gang. They stole from farms and orchards, and shared the spoils with the needy.In his last days when he was asked to write his autobiography he said with characteristic straightforwardness, "I cannot write my autobiography. I am neither that truthful nor that courageous." And on one occasion when Rabindranath Tagore also made a similar suggestion, Sarat replied: " Gurudev! Had I known I would become such a great man, I would have lived a different sort of life.'
