In the tender days of my childhood, I spent a couple of months in our village home, now in Bangladesh. This stay, though short, left an everlasting impression on me. Perhaps the soft, tranquil and verdant landscapes of the countryside and the ever flowing rivers later led me to dip my brushes in water colour in which I find the same flowing quality.

Water colour was never regarded as a major medium of painting. But to me there are immense possibilities in it and I find it capable of expressing many delicate and finer feelings. I faced many problems regarding the handling of the medium, but tried to solve them in my own way. And today I have succeeded in evolving my own water colour, the acid test of which will be done by posterity."
