In December 1955 she married Sisir Kumar Bose, son of the barrister and nationalist leader Sarat Chandra Bose and nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. She is a multifaceted personality-a professor, writer, researcher, broadcaster, social worker and politician. Lost Addresses is Krishna's story of her childhood, adolescence and young adulthood.

Illustrated with old photographs, this memoir is a valuable historical record, told in flowing literary style.…
