Satyajit Ray was responsible for all publicity materials, credit titles, editing and scoring, as well as scripting.
Childhood Days is Satyajit Ray’s biography, which he wrote entirely on his own. This book will allow readers to learn about Satyajit Ray’s childhood, his early years and the people around him. They also get to see the person who was there during his childhood, as well as the places where he lived. The book allows readers to see a different side to Satyajit Ray. It is affectionate, tender, and funny. This is not the same Satyajit Ray we know as a man who is serious and keeps himself from the rest of the world. He shares his first attempts at understanding photography and the experience of his first taste of ice cream. His discomfort in school due to the popularity of his grandfather and father are discussed in the book. He speaks eloquently of the family members and the unique talents each had. He also shares his experiences during Pather Panchali’s production. These stories are true and funny, and they were originally written for Sandesh, a Bengali magazine that is for children. Childhood Days was written and published by SatyajitRay in paperback form by Penguin India’s 7th edition, 2000. The book contains the autobiography and filmography of Satyajit Ray, a famous director and writer.
