"The Wizard of Festival Lighting" is a poignant biography chronicling the extraordinary life of Sridhar Das, 'The Light Wizard of Chandannagar.' From humble beginnings, Das revolutionized the Indian Street Lighting Industry, overcoming personal tragedies and societal challenges. The narrative, framed by his teenage granddaughter's perspective, beautifully weaves a tale of resilience, friendship, and familial bonds. As Das reflects on his journey at 78, the book becomes a guiding light for his granddaughter battling depression, emphasizing the triumph of light over darkness in both illuminating streets and human spirits. A compelling and inspirational read.
