A Flutter in the Colony
In 1956, the Senguptas travel from Calcutta to rural Malaya to start afresh. In their new hamlet of anonymity, the couple gradually forget past troubles and form new ties. But this second home is not entirely free and gentle. A complex, racially charged society, it is on the brink of independence even as communist insurgents hover on the periphery. How much should a newcomer meddle before it starts to destroy him? Shuttling in time and temper between the rubber plantations of Malaya and the anguish-filled years of pre-Partition Bengal, between the Malayan Emergency and Direct Action Day, between indifference and lust, A Flutter in the Colony is a tender, resonant chronicle of a family struggling to remain together in the twilight of Empire in Asia.
Lost Childhood
People of our generation, in the age bracket of 40 to 60, are the last of the generation who had a childhood which would never come back. It was simple and had a lot of happiness around small things. It was carefree and adventurous in contrast to today’s generations who will never experience the childhood which we did despite the advancement of technology and the improvement in the standard of living. The small joys in life are no longer there, and even after having everything in life, it does not seem enough. The idea of this book is to bring forth the childhood which many of our generations would be able to relate to and savour. The book also highlights, to today’s generation, as to what they are missing in their childhood. It may bring out some of those aspects in their childhood. This book is not a simple memoir of childhood. It is an attempt to capture the childhood of a child of a middle-class family who travelled through 8 cities, lived in around 10 houses and studied in around 8 schools. It is also about the various incidents, cities and its foods.
