Mrs . Pandey : What is the method of searching your material ?
P .B : There is no particular method. As I told you before , I am a doctor and in a job . I go to the hospital ( Safdarjung Hospital , Delhi ). and keep my eyes alert and observation awake even when on my walk so that I may se something interesting . If I find a wood- piece, -I pick it up--hold it --turn it may keep it or throw it back . One thing is vey certain : only forms or shapes do not interest me inless there is a possibility of deeper expression covered underneath . When I succeed I feel happy, proud and think that I have rescued a piece of dead-wood condemned to be burnt or left to decay and I try to give it another phase of 'life '.
Mrs Pandey : What is your idea about giving the piece the final shape ?
P.B : By selection or rejection . One thing is certain ; I must not add anything as then , I would violate NATURE's 'Game and my Principle . If I add , -- then I have no right to pick waste -wood from Nature's lap .
Mrs, Pandey : Where from you got you first idea and inspiration ; from others's sculptures ?
P. B : I told you I try to keep myself alert and aware to absorb all that are acceptable and good enough as 'food' for my mind . Regarding inspiration , -- I get inspiration from almost all events in around me . In hospital I get inspiration , from Market place I get inspiration . from trees dreen or dying , from pasing men , from speeding people , laughing men , crying kids , beggars , even dead ; they all inspire me to rethink .
You know ; Life is a very big CANVAS and there you can not be selective . One must keep hia eyes and all senses alert to absorb that one considers as food for his thoughts.
The Sky , the World , the trees , the men living , even dying or dead are better models than any such found in any Art -school - studio .
Mrs. Pandey : You being a doctor, how do you afford to get time fr your love for so many serious Arts .
P.B : It is is a very old Time-honored Question ; always put up and answered in all different
ways I shall also answer in another way . Col . R.N. Banerjee, head of the department of
