Renowned painter and art organizer Neelpawan Baruah is a celebrated name not only in Assam but also in the broader landscape of Indian visual arts. With his unconventional thoughts, lifestyle, and creative pursuits, Neelpawan Baruah had already become a living legend in his lifetime.

Beyond his contributions to painting, he also produced a number of literary pieces marked by an offbeat, deeply personal style. Anya Ek Gati is a curated collection of such unconventional essays — some previously published, some unpublished — brought together in a single volume. Published by Monikut Prakashan, Anya Ek Gati remains the only published book by the artist himself.

Alongside his writings, this volume also features a significant number of Neelpawan Baruah’s paintings, making Anya Ek Gati not just a literary collection but a visual and artistic archive — a rare window into the mind of a creative force who moved against the current.
