The prose collection titled ‘Saru Saru Katha’ captures fragments from the life the author has left behind. The events narrated in the book do not follow a chronological sequence based on chapters; rather, each chapter stands as a self-contained story that comes alive with the golden memories of the author’s childhood and adolescence.

Readers born in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s will likely find a deep sense of connection with these writings. Experiences of fishing through various methods, the bustling village markets, trips from the village to Guwahati, celebrations of Durga Puja and other folk festivals, and vivid depictions of trees, plants, and insects from the author’s native village – all these enrich the collection with a rare charm, while also offering a glimpse into the author’s sensitive mind. These essays are sure to offer readers a unique reading experience, evoking a nostalgic yearning for the pure and unadulterated rural life of the past.

Although the writings are rooted in the author’s personal experiences and emotions, the book also sheds light -with deep insight -on various facets of social life during a particular era. The delightful prose, painting an image of simple, honest, and untouched village life, will resonate in the hearts and minds of readers, evoking a refreshing emotional response.
