Art by my Grandfather, Late Sri Abani Kanta Lahiri -- An artist, novelist, poet, playwright and healer.

Sri Abani Kanta Lahiri was a student of Calcutta Art College and JJ school of Arts Bombay, India around the year 1930. He was also nominated for a scholarship to Royal Academy of Arts in England, which he could not pursue due to family reasons. He had many talents that included authoring fiction short stories and novels, family drama and historical drama. His Bengali poems were regularly recited in All India Radio. His accredited work included a Bengali play "Swapna bastab" ( Swapna Vaastav --- dream that comes true), beautifully written on Bengal expatriate life. "Swapna bastab" was recognized and play-acted professionally by a leading Bengali newspaper group "Ananda Bazar Patrika".

He was also a philosopher and president of Theosophical society, Kolkata. To add to his credit he was a gifted certified homeopath doctor who cared for people selflessly.
