And as life progressed from the foothills to the Himalayan heights, from being a young educator in Sikkim to giving physical shape to marketing dreams in Delhi-NCR, his experiences only kept getting filled up.

Hailing from the small but ever-growing north Bengal town of Siliguri, the exposure to characters, situations and human reactions have been a part of Pinakie’s life from the very beginning. And as life progressed from the foothills to the Himalayan heights, from being a young educator in Sikkim to giving physical shape to marketing dreams in Delhi-NCR, his experiences only kept getting filled up.
Cliched as it may sound of being a corporate-to-creativity crossover, Pinakie doesn’t claim to be a habitual writer – rather he’s happy being an author of experiences and emotions. Debuting with Mountains to Manhattan, a fiction on the refugee crisis of the Tibetans in diaspora, Pinakie finds it challenging and rather satisfying as a writer, to put himself in the shoes of his women characters. His second book, A Basket of Sunflowers takes this journey forward, navigating through the lives of seven women and their stories.
Pinakie’s passion is to write about people, culture, ethos and philosophy. Exploring issues of identity, family relations, history excites him. His stories are not exactly about his experiences, rather his interpretation of what the characters around him go through.

Seven women, seven places, seven stories. From the bucolic lush green tea gardens of North Bengal to the glitzy Manhattan, each story is built around interesting characters, plots, and subplots. All these educated and highly accomplished women raise a subtle question about women's inhibitions and their silent screams. Not all of them can seek redressal from their problems, legally or socially. Many like to bear the cross in martyrdom in silence, but others do

Niharika, whose fiancée had ghosted on her date of marriage, was never to appear again for twenty years. Aditi was a single mother of choice, and she fought against the social norm of living her life the way she wanted to. Suparna was a highly qualified young woman who discovered that her disqualification in life was not in her own hands. Maitrayee was a single mother, but it wasn't a choice. She rejected her husband but was unable to overcome her love for him. Anuradha had not been able to solve the mystery of how a man who seemed so loving and committed could morph overnight into a stranger. Debjani, who was a much-appreciated public relations officer, was powerless to deal with her husband, who believed that her child's father was someone else. Suchandra was a victim of domestic violence, who came out of a violent life and started a new life, but not with a new, independent identity.
