About this book

In the heart of the Karbi Anglong jungles, a hunting expedition takes a harrowing turn. Amidst this chaos, a young magistrate embroiled in a police raid finds solace in the sight of a hen and her chicks, an unexpected refuge from cruelty. A solitary bachelor's life takes a poignant turn when he adopts a pigeon, unveiling the bittersweet reality of loving a creature of the wild. Under the moon's gentle glow, an egret graces a man with its presence, imparting an unspoken connection. In the hills near Guwahati, three schoolboys stumble upon a leopard and its recent kill, a moment that reshapes their perspectives. With a lean and precise narrative, Dhruba Hazarika captures the instances where humans cross paths with animals and the natural realm—often leading to introspective encounters with their own selves. These stories resonate with deep emotion, etching lasting memories, all stemming from a literary imagination characterized by its rare genuineness and sophistication.
