Synopsis
This is the diary of a nature lover, patterned like the traditional Baramasi of Indian poets. It speaks of trees, flowers, fruits, birds, snakes, insects and animals that populate Delhi and its surroundings through the twelve months of the year. It is a book of wonder, noting the beauty of the many fairs and festivals celebrated in the country; telling the story of clouds, of what their shapes and movements mean; investigating why hailstorms come in spring and early summer and not in winter; writing about how birds communicate with each other and why their calls vary with the seasons. Woven into the text are poems by Kalidasa, Guru Nanak, Meer Taqi Meer, Mirza Ghalib, Akbar Allahabadi, Rabindranath Tagore, Rudyard Kipling and many others. Delhi through the Seasons is Khushwant Singh s collaboration with Suddhasattwa Basu, one of India s finest painters of natural phenomena. A rare treasure.

About the Author
One of India s best-loved columnists and writers, Khushwant Singh (1915 2014), was the author of several novels, including the classics Train to Pakistan; A History of the Sikhs; and an autobiography, Truth, Love and a Little Malice. He was the founder-editor of Yojana, editor of The Illustrated Weekly of India, Hindustan Times and National Herald. A member of the Rajya Sabha (1980 1986), he was awarded the Padma Bhushan (1974) which he returned in 1984 to protest the siege of the Golden Temple by the Indian Army. In 2007, he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan. Suddhasattwa Basu is a painter, illustrator and animator. A student of Fine Arts (painting) at the Government College of Art and Craft, Calcutta, Suddhasattwa has worked in the Design Unit of Thomson Press and has been closely associated with Target, the children s magazine. His love for and keen observation of nature and landscape also find expression in To Live in Magic, a book of nature poems and prayers for children by Ruskin Bond. Suddhasattwa is the director and chief animator of Ghayab Aya, India s first ingeniously made animation tele-serial, which was first telecast in 1990 on Doordarshan s national network.
