শীর্ষেন্দু মুখোপাধ্যায়ের সিরি ভেঙ্গে ভেঙ্গে

"Arrogant Basudeb has never loved anyone but himself. He has never bothered to consider the sorrows, grievances, or pains of others. His wife, Shikha, has mentally distanced herself from him, and his children harbor hatred towards him. Basudeb is aware of this, yet he remains indifferent. His life is filled with selfishness and tyranny. His obsession with women is so reckless that he has fathered an illegitimate child with a married woman named Reena. The "Tamoguni" Basudeb has lived his life like a wild horse until the age of sixty-six. It is this very arrogance that leads him to a rash act one day. Standing on the stairs of the eighth floor, he hears a sound in the distance, like the beat of a distant drum. Whose footsteps are those? Is it the footsteps of arrogance? Or of death? This novel deeply explores that very inquiry."
