As a young boy growing up in India, Basu’s love for all things literary was
influenced early on by the storytelling excellence of AJ Cronin, the rich poetry of
Tagore, and exciting historical writings of James Clavell, Umberto Eco and Leon
Uris.
Basu’s formal education was solidly grounded in language and literature. He
studied electronics at the Indian Institute of Technology and University of
Southern California.
Dipak and his wife Radha live in northern California. Their hobbies are trekking
in the high Himalayas and Andes and traveling to captivating places as diverse as
Tibet and Antarctica. |
