Thank you 2024 for reinstating my belief in persistence and hardwork. The year began at the bookstore Story and ended with copies of my new book getting shipped to the major bookstores in Kolkata. The year started with a bunch of people and it ended with those who I call friends like family. The first trip of the year was just the three of us while the last trip of the year was with my closest family. Here’s to 2024 for being kind, joyful, productive and enjoyable.Â
2025, I hope you turn out to be even better.
Here’s wishing you a very happy new year 2025.
For the last few days, I’ve been hinting at some surprise announcements before we wrap the year.
So here’s the big reveal. Presenting to you the COVER of my next book ‘The Sanyasi who became a King’. Based on true facts and research, it is the story behind the mystery of the Bhawal Raja. This book is extremely special not only because it is my second book of 2024, but also since it marks my debut into the non-fiction true crime genre.
I began working on this book after some intense brainstorming sessions with Suhail of The Book Bakers. When the idea was pitched to Arup of Sristhi Publishers, he encouraged us to turn it into reality.
For the next few months, I read up all the materials available about the case along with background research about Bhawal Raja and sanyasi. Though I was very clear about keeping the facts and sequence of events intact, the challenge was to ensure it didn’t read like a research thesis.
To know how we made it different yet interesting, you can PRE-ORDER the book on Amazon by clicking on the link below –

2024 is the year when I visited Purulia, Ayodhya Hills, Lucknow, Agra, Vizag, and Gopalpur in the last 3 months.
Since Diary, Deceit and Death released in September 2024, the book has travelled with me to all these places.
Here’s my father holding the book at a picturesque location chosen by my husband while my son clicked the picture. They along with my in-laws are the reason I shifted careers to pursue what I always loved doing – writing. It’s overwhelming to see them feel happy and proud of me.
For the next couple of days, there will be some major announcements – the year end surprises I have planned for my readers and friends.
Until then, if you haven’t placed an order for the book, it’s time you do it as a year end gift to yourself or your loved ones. Here’s the link –
