Distant Thunder
The Great Bengal Famine of 1943 forms the backdrop for the novel Ashani Sanket, written contemporaneously by the greatest portrayer of rural Bengal, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay. Through the eyes of Ananga, her husband Gangacharan and their compatriots, the author has drawn with deep sympathy their daily lives in a remote village as they face with utter bewilderment the onset of the famine--the distant thunder. Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay is an iconic and beloved Bengali writer of the twentieth century. His novels Pather Panchali ('Song of the Road') and Aparajito ('The Unvanquished') were made into the famous 'Apu Trilogy' by Satyajit Ray, another iconic movie director (Life-time Oscar, 1992). Ray also made a movie based on this novel Ashani Sanket ('Distant Thunder') which conquered the Golden Bear in Berlin Film Festival and is claimed by New York Times as being one of the 1000 best movies ever made.

This book is all about feelings, of different people in different walks of life and their experiences as well as perspectives. Poems express in fewer words what thousands of pages of manuscripts could never convey. This is one of the books which can be said to possess a particular genre except for what it is. The expectations of the readers of this generation include precocious notions of acts of ludicrous nature. This book does not cater to such audiences neither does it for the people who love simplified notions of human feelings. Human feelings are complex and need to be expressed so, with the truth pertaining to the complexities in life everyone faces. The books, hence, contains profound usage of a variety of complex words in English and expects the readers to be versed enough to understand the emotions expressed as they are. Sure, there can be many interpretations to what has been expressed by these words but the basic crux is expected to be the same for readers, one and all. Hope readers would enjoy the clever usage of words and the understand the desired expressions of the author as it is.

Introspection
Being requested by his colleagues, Ranjan accepted the farewell as it was his childhood dream receiving it akin to that of his great grandfather and maternal grandfather. His colleagues were recalling sweet memories of his long service, which Ranjan continued even after the farewell ended. Ranjan recalled the most significant incidents missing many trifles as he had no written diary. Ranjan attempts to know the different characters and their chase after worldly achievements from a name and status in society to a power struggle, which still leaves them unsatisfied and thirsting for more. The physical and mental stress of most people, feels Ranjan is mainly due to this permanent thirst of not ireally knowing' either oneself or others! According to Hinduism, seeking God is knowing who he is as iHe' is within us. Contentment and eternal bliss come only by knowing that I am that nInfinity.i Ranjan continues his search."
