Jhal Logen by Smaranjit Chakrabarty [Hardcover]

"‘Jhal Logen’ - A memoir of the lost times of the eighties and nineties. Captured here are stories of suburban life from that era. The rarity of refrigerators, TVs, and antennas. The Durga Puja of those days, invitations to feast at homes, neighborhood cultural programs, and the enthusiasm for sports. It also holds the memories of Kolkata from that lost era. The trams, trains, restaurants, and streets of Kolkata. Captured too are the changing seasons of the city, the tales of the light and shadows on College Street! And the stories of schools and colleges of that world! Tales of love and romance! What was love like back then? Those love letters and the melancholic afternoons! ‘Jhal Logen’ preserves those stories as well!

Moreover, within ‘Jhal Logen,’ live the memories of those lost people who spoke of simple lives. Those who knew the joy of living even amidst modesty."
