Twenty-six-year-old Balraj Verma sat restlessly in the Ministry of Education office in Delhi, where he was employed as a clerk.

The year was 1947. There was unrest everywhere in the capital. Thousands of Muslims were fleeing the city while Hindu and Sikh refugees were pouring in from Pakistan. Refugee camps sprang up all around Delhi. Educational institutions had turned into camps for the émigrés.

    On Vikram Seth A poet, a novelist, a calligraphist On Vikram Seth
A poet, a novelist, a calligraphist, a legend 
A polymath whose genius is

London skies were overcast 
but with him in the room, 
It was salubrious and sunny.
