Suryaswapna (Dream of the Sun) is a novel based on life itself. It serves as a documented golden history of the vibrant life of eminent physician Dr. Tapan Deka. Within its pages are playful childhood memories, the camaraderie of youth, and the sunlit reflections of life’s twilight years. In the tales of the Panchatantra, there is mention of how the delicate sound of silver bangles could strike the chord of healing and infuse life even into the dying. Similarly, the life of Dr. Tapan Deka, honed by a lifetime of dedication, sparkles like the hues of a rainbow—its crimson arc a melody weaving stories of light into darkened paths. In the sound of his silver bangles, hundreds found new life. Each became a gateway to new possibilities. His life itself is like a golden pathway of dreams. Suryaswapna is but a partial revelation of that golden journey.
