আমার এই কবিতার সংকলন সেই কোন এক যুগের এক বিরহের কাহিনী। সেই বিরহকে জয় করার কাহিনী। এখানে-সেখানে ছড়ানো সেই কবিতার মলিন পৃষ্ঠাগুলো দেখি আমার মুখাপেক্ষী হয়ে তাকিয়ে আছে বছরের পর ব
আমার এই কবিতার সংকলন সেই কোন এক যুগের এক বিরহের কাহিনী। সেই বিরহকে জয় করার কাহিনী। এখানে-সেখানে ছড়ানো সেই কবিতার মলিন পৃষ্ঠাগুলো দেখি আমার মুখাপেক্ষী হয়ে তাকিয়ে আছে বছরের পর বছর ধরে। তিন বার বাড়ি বদল, দেশ বদলের সময়ে স্যুটকেসের কোনো এক কোণায় কবিতাগুলো ভরে নিয়ে চলেছি। ফেলতে পারিনি কোনদিনই সেই হৃদয়াঘাতের ১৯৮৬-র রব। যত্তসব!
এই কবিতাগুলো ১৯৮৬ থেকে রচনা। পড়লে মনে হতে পারে, আরে এ তো বিদ্যাপতির যুগের কবিতা! আসলে আমাদের সময় এতো বাংলা কবির সংস্পর্শে আসা হয়নি। রবীন্দ্রনাথ, বিভূতিভূষণ আর শরৎচন্দ্রের বাইরে যেতেই পারিনি। তাই কবিতাগুলোতে সেই আস্বাদেরই পুর্ণ ছাপ।

Set in India in the pre-internet era, in the ’90s, when mafias ruled Mumbai and unemployment eroded the youth in Kolkata, Neil Must Die, set in Kolkata, Mumbai and the Himalayas, is one of the bestsellers, published consecutively in 3 countries, USA, Canada and India.
Neil Roy is not a complete stranger to the conservative nature of the traditional Bengali family. And, although he finds true happiness in tearing down those precious laws, entering the forbidden territories of love, the aftermath is more than he can bear. Neil walks a precarious path of hope and destruction, and learns to fight for what he loves — but death is an old friend, and their union is written in stone.
A sequel to Neil Must Die is getting written, as you read this
The relentless pursuit of God has been mankind’s favorite hobby. With ‘WtF I Found God’ Kaberi Dutta Chatterjee first debunks man’s “greatest hallucination”, and then establishes the existence of God through science, logic and proof.

The relentless pursuit of God has been mankind’s favorite hobby. With ‘WtF I Found God’ Kaberi Dutta Chatterjee first debunks man’s “greatest hallucination”, and then establishes the existence of God through science, logic and proof.
Where was God/Allah now, that the Haiyan, in the form of the Taliban, are seated in power in Afghanistan, where common people and women shiver in fear?
Where was God during Covid-19, when He let millions die of asphyxiation, all alone, and their bodies towed away in plastic bags? Where was God when we watch helplessly our own fathers and mothers and children die? You mean to say nobody prayed in these times?
You mean to say no one prayed when the women and children were being sold as sex-slaves in Syria by the ISIS? Did God go to sleep when all the Jews were being gassed in World War II?
The Voyager 1, launched by NASA in 1977 has sped way past the Solar System, and found no bearded figure in white robes. So, where is God?
What started as a fun recording of what was floating around in the iCloud, became a personal journey of enlightenment for the author, who is an agnostic and anti-religious herself, and her personal journey to find God finally — "the asshole who apparently struck a matchstick, and fled".
