The Cosmic Man

Breathe deeply and take a moment to live these visuals in your mind...

When the boy from Midnapore arrived in Calcutta he not only fell in love with the beautiful city, but also a girl from a high family. When he mustered courage to propose marriage to her, it was rejected. Apparently, Mani’s lack of social and financial status was the reason why the offer was spurned. It was a shattering, yet life-changing moment for the trusting Mani. Years later when he would return from America, the family of the girl would approach him, offering their daughter’s hand. By then in Mani’s mind, things had changed. Once smitten in love, he decided he would focus on his work, and quietly turned down the offer. He’s remained a bachelor since.
