Down the Memory Lane

A collection of memories—sailing to the smiling land of childhood’s passing days. A young boy of mediocre talent, protagonist Tarun’s view on conventional educational system, his inflexible love towards English literature, his awkward experience of witnessing men’s superstitious belief and its full-fledged practice, sharp observation over the erosion of familial relationship, visual perspective on social mobility, realisation about hurdles and hindrances on the way to achieve success, his critical overview between love and infatuation, mere ostentation and modern people’s indecisiveness, hesitance and snobbery, his protest against the discrimination between rich and poor; his focus on the triumph of humanity, his temperament of digesting societal carping tongue, his assertion about the role of a caring, affectionate mother, his wandering in the world of fantasy, immense influence of Rabindranath-his guiding spirit and ultimately his belief on Almighty—are recapitulated in this book in the first person narrative technique.
