He started drawing cartoons officially in 1961 and joined Anandabazar Patrika first for their then English daily The Hindusthan Standard and later when his friend and contemporary Cartoonist Amal Chakraborty left the magazine house's Bengali daily cartoon feature 'Tirjak', he took over.
Being humanitarian by nature, he worked pro bono for various social organisations to support noble and just causes all throughout his life.
His research works on Gaganendranath Tagore's cartoons or Basantak, a magazine that was dedicated to humor gained importance.
His own projects like The Biggest Egg and Under The Blue Moon, created along with his third brother Tulsi Lahiri were not just appreciated but bought by Doordarshan.
