Living Differently is the story of a septuagenarian former professor and historian, Prateep Sen, who lives in his parental home in Chaibasa, a small township in Jharkhand, with his ailing mother and Indu, his wife. Prateep is on the threshold of a new voyage from the world of facts, his earlier quest as a teacher and researcher, to the world of fiction. Fresh and raw in this new field, he does not know what story he should tell and how. A broad plot finally emerges in his mind. As he dabbles further, the storyline gradually unfolds in the form of a novelette. In ten chapters, the book narrates the story of the indomitable way three old people face an unprecedented challenge that the sudden outburst of the COVID 19 pandemic has brought in and around them. Living Differently is therefore as much a self-story as it is a juxtaposition of the agonies and ecstasies of the people around and away from him. It tells how three old people invent a new life pattern, being confined within the four walls of their house, and struggle and explore the joys of living in an unfamiliar and exciting virtual world and amongst their close ones, living many thousand miles away. In this way, Prateep’s dialogues lend a new meaning to life and make living more worthwhile than being steeped into despondency in the midst of affliction.
Had the terrorist attack been confined to Pulwama and the martyrdom of the Indian CRPF, there was no point for me to pen this novel Surgical Strike. But when the political flames began to swallow the nation and its social fabric to exploit the situation, it was obvious for the protagonist Aajivak Babu to be involved in surgical strikes on different fronts. He collides with the culture of becoming a large gathering turned into robots, sheep, mindless crowd, a product ‘For Sale’ with their remote controls in the hands of unbridled radical forces to hostage the constitutional institutions where media play as an auctioned players of ‘Indian Media Premier league’, then what bitter experience the Indian society and the nation pass through, ‘Surgical Strike’ mirrors it all as lifeline of the novel.
The India and the World: Shame and Uncertainty has mainly depicted issues like social, political, economic, poverty, illiteracy, lack of health facilities, insecurity, violence, corruption, indiscriminate armaments, environment pollution, hunger, etc., in India and the world nations, written in the last two and half years. Articles and essays have gone in details about what is happening in India and the globe. Exploitation of poor, downtrodden, and weaker sections of society have been highlighted. Important features of the book are indifference of world nations toward burning issues in the respective countries and also issues of concern throughout the globe. Compassion, peace, and nonviolence have become nobodys concern in India and the globe, and these issues have been kept on the back burner! Notably one thing is very common in the worldthat is the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Shamelessly shameful activities have taken the drivers seat. Everywhere in all the countries, uncertainties prevailit appears that these important issues have little or no priority among elite and political classes ruling the respective nations of the world. General people are helpless and ruling elites are indifferent. Almost all nations are threatened with the so-called terrorism or militant fanaticism, which appear to have adopted militancy because of exploitation and hate campaign against them or their brothers and sisters or their nations in the world. World nations have made terrorism, extremism, and militancy into big hoaxes. Instead of finding solutions, world nations and their political rulers, as well as others, are blaming each other for these hoaxes. Last but not the least, the entire world nations and their people are in the grip of uncertainty and serious threat because of man-made miseries in destroying the environment. Because of unethical and unprincipled pressure on the earth, the earth is itself threatened to bear the burden of man-made destruction of the nature and natural wealth. Thus the earth is under tremendous pressure of sins of the people of the globe!
