Although an engineer by profession, Dr. Datta-Barua has lost neither his love of nature nor his passion for non-technical writing. "Color of Life" reflects his experiences on the banks of two mighty rivers, that of his youth and Paul Robeson’s “Old Man River”, the Mississippi. A few of his short stories and travel anecdotes have been published in various newspapers in India and in the US. His writings are about compassion, and his love for his birthplace and his adopted home. Color of Life is his first compilation of such short stories, or more appropriately, autobiographical essays written from his firsthand experiences and painted with some color. It opens a window to two different worlds through an immigrant’s eye, and displays seasons of life through agony, defeat, and hope.
