Srikanta upanyas7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() One of those un-putdownable kind of books. From page one till the end, Srikanta rox. Its a long time since I began this review. It appears strange that all these ladies, strong-willed and efficient enough in several ways, get attracted to Srikanta, developing an affectionate relationship with him, despite all his behavioral flaws. First there is : Annada Di, Pyari aka Rajeswari, then, Abhaya and finally, Kamal Latha, theVaishnavi. It is about Srikanta and the ladies in his life. Novel proceeds in first person narrative, from Srikanta’s side. □ Srikanta is the hero of the novel, basically good but inefficient young lad. ![]() Not at a single place did it gave a feeling like – “chalo, lets putdown and sleep”. A thoroughly gripping novel I should say. Yeah.of the 5 Sarath novels I have read(including a small one I read today), this is the biggest in size. ![]() ![]() I think one novel or the other of these classical authors is an autobiographical account of their life…. Srikanta is in many ways, a significant novel of Sarath’s writings, and it is believed to be autobiographical. Well, this time, the book is Srikanta, by Sarath Chandra Chattopadhyay, better known as Sarath to Bengalis and non-bengalis alike, which shows his timeless popularity. These days, I feel I am not blogging about books the way I used to….after the advent of At Random, all my random thoughts got life! □ ![]()
