This is the story of another world. How do we understand the concept of time? This novel has brought out a supernatural message from time's internal cave. It is nothing new for two persons to be attracted to each other. This novel sees this oft-played game from an entirely new perspective. Is love and desire the same? Can these two be put in the same paradigm of understanding? Or is there a thin line, which delineates them apart and yet, so close? Each of us accepts our own perception of the truth. Some would say love is abstract, while desire is concrete. Is it so? Desire could also be abstract. Why do we love someone? Can it be explained by the theories of chemistry? Science has given a cl...
There are fictions and there are genres. Some fictions follow certain standard routes of the established genres, while on rare occasions some fictions create their own genres. That new genres might become established later or may wither away. Only future could decide their fate. But an author who treads on a new path to create a new genre is a pioneer. The spirit always deserves a salute. Such is the new novel by Aniruddha Bose “If …”. It treads along a comparatively new path. What is it? A sci-fi? A whodunit mystery thriller? Or a combination of both? The core idea is not new. Energy crisis and finding a new source of energy is a burning issue to the humankind. Fossil fuel will inevit...
Every human is a myriad of various facades like the rainbow traversing a prism emitting various shades. Often one colour outstrips the other like the insignia of life. Canvas is a window into the varied facets of human existence. Initially starting off with seven short stories of seven different females, the author inter-weaves them to the confluence of a single novel, which portrays the different facets of a female in tune with colours of the rainbow and takes the reader on a deeper inner journey, beyond the prismatic spectrum, into the mystique shades of invisible ultra-violet or infra-red rays, where dwells the real truth of human realization.
In his book Poetics, the Greek philosopher Aristotle, asserted suspense is the fulcrum of all thrillers, with a fusion of trepidation, thrill, expectancy, anxiety, collocated with a feel of pandering tensity, captivation, fright, fervour. The readers seize with teeth the plot, as it converges to an aleatory, cryptic and stirring climax, leaving them to ruminate.Typically, a baddie-driven one, balked by red herrings, twists, to a bewitching cliff-hanger. Pigeon-holed, the author destroys hope, elicits curiosity and springs surprise, out of the blue. This is the form of the customary mystery, psychologic, political or romantic sub-genres.Gone are the days of ancient epics, Epic of Gilgamesh, H...
Mathematics & Murder! Whoa! What a combination!To the common mortals, Mathematics is THE Murderer. Who (except those thick-spectacled geeks) is not afraid of Mathematics in their school days? But to speak the truth, Mathematics is THE Truth itself. Nothing in this Universe is beyond the clutches of Mathematics. It is the Language of God (or Nature, if you are an atheist) through which man can communicate with the Nature. But to relate Mathematics with a series of murders is definitely an entirely new concept, even in the new genre of scientific who-dun-it stories. Conundrum, the latest murder-thriller by the eminent author Dr. Aniruddha Bose perfectly deals with this bizarre combination of M...
