Summaries

Manan, a Bengali software engineer, has recently returned from USA after a stint of fifteen years, the most part of which was spent working in Europe. He is facing hard time at office. Manan suddenly feels an urge to visit his native village in rural Bengal for last time, which he visited twenty five years back, when he was a teen. It is abandoned now almost. When he arrives at the village, he finds the shattered edifice. He can't find any of his childhood structures, memos. It is a shocking experience for him to re-connect with his childhood memories. Manan confronts two different worlds in his life during his stay - one, his astounding global citizenship, another one of his past childhood native memories. Both are totally different in nature; yet exist in a single life - like two parallel worlds. He feels that, he can reciprocate with the domicile. Meanwhile Manan gets engrossed towards the aged tree named 'Sannyasi', which is the most respected place in the village. It's a huge Banyan tree, standing tall and protecting the village for years. The tree is a symbol of unity. Manan discovers a new world which has almost hid itself with time out of an inexplicable loneliness, that everyone forgot, he doesn't want to return to Europe anymore - stuck in the nostalgia and mystery of his predecessor's abode and the great banyan tree. It is the old buried memories of his predecessors which haunt him to stay there and mesmerises him to play a fantastic game of time and space.
