Born in 1955 at Chandernagore in West Bengal, Purnendu Ghosh is a retired Government Official. Keeping his bitter-sweet childhood memories alive, he took to writing stories reminiscing his early days and the then situations of Bengal in his leisure time. During seventies he remained unperturbed in political turmoil, anarchic education in the state and continued his studies and later got settled with his family in Delhi. The world is changing with time at a fast pace. According to author, it is necessary to accept the change and keep pace with time for our progress. This has been narrated in this book, “Kal-Aj-Kal”. His attraction towards the Indian spiritual thoughts gave rise to the book “Jagriti”, a compilation of his articles based on the thoughts of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda – a publication highly acclaimed. His another book “Srotaswini Ganga” is a collection of short stories written in Bengali. Effect of nonchalant environment and closeness of nature by the side of river Ganga in his life are reflected in number of stories in this book.
West Bengal is known as the birth place of many enlightened persons who excelled in fields of art, literature, culture, science, philosophy, education and so on. With the development of science and technology, we now witness rapid change everywhere in our society. This inevitable change is unaccepted in some parts of the state. The progressive movement of West Bengal is getting retarded due to its unwillingness to accept this change. One more thing forming barrier there is the political environment.

সময়ের সঙ্গে সঙ্গে আমাদের জীবনেও আসে নানা পরিবর্তন । বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তির উন্নতির সঙ্গে আমাদের জীবনধারা গেছে বদলে, আমাদের জীবনের মানও হয়েছে উন্নত । কিন্তু এখনও আমরা আমাদের জীব
সময়ের সঙ্গে সঙ্গে আমাদের জীবনেও আসে নানা পরিবর্তন । বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তির উন্নতির সঙ্গে আমাদের জীবনধারা গেছে বদলে, আমাদের জীবনের মানও হয়েছে উন্নত । কিন্তু এখনও আমরা আমাদের জীবনকে সমস্যামুক্ত করে তুলতে পারিনি, বরং সমস্যা জটিল থেকে জটিলতর আকার ধারণ করেছে, আমাদের মধ্যে অবিশ্বাসের মাত্রা বেড়েছে, বেড়েছে প্রতিযোগিতা । মানুষ পশুর থেকে যত না ভীত তার চেয়ে বেশী ভীত মানুষের থেকে । তাই আজকের দিনে অনেক কিছু জিনিস সহজলভ্য হলেও যে জিনিসের এখনও অভাব তা হলো মানসিক শান্তি । শান্তিপূর্ণ সহ-অবস্থানের জন্য যে মানসিকতার প্রয়োজন তা আমাদের আজও গড়ে ওঠেনি ।
লেখকের মতে আমাদের জীবন কতকগুলো মূল্যবোধের ওপর প্রতিষ্ঠিত যেগুলি কোনো দেশ বা কালের গন্ডীর সীমার মধ্যে আবদ্ধ নয়, বরং সব জায়গার সর্বস্তরের মানুষের ক্ষেত্রে সমানভাবে প্রযোজ্য । এই মূল্যবোধগুলো আমাদের জীবনকে সুন্দর করে গড়ে তোলে । অন্যদিকে সেগুলো থেকে সরে আসা মানেই হলো আমাদের জীবনে অসুন্দরের প্রবেশের পথকে প্রশস্ত করা যা সাময়িকভাবে আমাদের কোনো সমস্যা থেকে মুক্তি দিলেও স্থায়ী সমস্যা সমাধানের পথে বাধা হয়ে দাঁড়ায় । আজকের দিনে আমরা সেই সব মূল্যবোধকে হারাতে বসেছি, ফলে অনেককিছু পেয়েও আমরা আমাদের জীবনে মূল যে সমস্যা তা দূর করতে সক্ষম হইনি । এই গ্রন্থে প্রকাশিত গল্পগুলোর মধ্যে সেইরকম কয়েকটি মূল্যবোধকে তুলে ধরা হয়েছে ।
