Alyosha
Alyosha lived a short life, which he lived to the fullest following his convictions, with utter honesty and showing compassion to his fellow beings. His simplicity and positivity of outlook endeared him to those who came in touch with him whilst his brutal forthrightness quite often brought him into conflict with those in authority. Ever since his birth, it was apparent that Alyosha was a special and exceptionally gifted child. He excelled in sports and academics with equal ease. He was also very perceptive of the human nature. His friends knew him to be a daring and brave boy, who stood up against odds and injustices in life with dignity. In the wee hours of 30 Sep 2007, he was fatally stabbed at Bangalore whilst defending his friend from molestation. His parents, Cmde Arun Kumar, Ms Deepa and his paternal aunt Ms Prabha have set up a public charitable trust as per Alyosha’s desire, to help the disadvantaged sections of the society. The Trust is truly a befitting tribute to his life and the values he lived and died for.

No more chasing pigeons, no more digging holes in the park. Fighting drugs and loneliness, 19 year-old Sandipan lives in a world full of unanswered questions. As he tries to grasp what killed his friend, exactly, there are tricks and illusions to deal with, smeared across his full-sleeved shirt. Is Shibu's brother sick or does he fake it? Why is Ganesh the caretaker lying? How much does Mrs. Dasgupta know? What are they hiding? Dead dogs and letters in a lawyer's chamber...a woman robbed at gunpoint two years ago...panties laced with booze and detergent inside Shibu's pocket...big mammalian bones buried underground...what does it all mean? With the help of a little girl, Sandipan embarks on his journey to resurrect the truth. From Mumbai to Murshidabad, they accost men with strange passions, enemies who hunt for diamonds and money. Shibu's life was a cosmic conspiracy. The rage of stars above. He was destined to die. A dark stormy night, Calcutta. They say on such a night, anything can happen.
