520			_aThe legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray has been brought back to life by his wife Bijoya Ray and translator Indrani Majumdar through the book Manik and I: My Life with Satyajit Ray. It is a detailed account of Satyajit Ray's life and work, which has never been divulged by the maestro himself. The diary entries of Bijoya have been used in the making of this book, which she had been maintaining since he died in 1992. The author has drawn a spirited portrait of Satyajit, by telling readers about his passions which include western classical music. The book talks about how he had no interest in shopping or keeping any money in his wallet and a long list of his peculiar behavioral patterns. The author also penned down the joyous days of their time together as a married couple. The hardships this couple faced together, the story of their struggle, the days of Satyajit's fame and the fervor this couple shared are depicted beautifully in this book. The warmth and with Bijoya has for decades, are evident to readers as they turn each page of Manik and I: My Life with Satyajit Ray. This book was published in 2012 by Penguin India and is available in paperback.
