Synopsis

The compilation comprising nine short stories, all set in Bengal, looks to appeal to the magnanimous aspects of modern minds engrossed in the tussle for a living. The collection is meant to make readers think at least for once about those villagers who still have to wait for an elevation in their wretched living. In addition, set in the backdrop of India still unaware of urbanism and innocent of technological advancement, the stories are sure to reconjure the ideals prevalent in the rural society in the last few decades of the twentieth century.
Further, amidst the flurry of literary works based on urbanism, these stories will stand out to rekindle ones deep thoughts on the pains and pangs of the India that still remains unexplored from the socio-economic perspective.
