Two books you must read !
We already had our winner for this year ! But I’m here sharing my thoughts on this book.
Ib’s endless search for satisfaction by Roshan Ali has been shortlisted.
And one of my friend ( not a Bookstagrammer or reader ) has gifted this copy .😌😌 So Our Protagonist Ib lives with his schizophrenic father and mother. He doesn’t have a comfortable childhood. His friends were objects, and he used to talk with them. The school life even wasn’t good . Nothing can make him comfortable. He lost his job and started searching -something he doesn’t know.
The Ib has Endless searched satisfaction sane I endlessly try to find the purpose of the story. But I found nothing. But I think it’s what the author has wanted to do with the readers.
I have found it boring when I was reading. I was expecting that SOMETHING would happen and Ib will get a better a life. But noh. That’s what happens in real life. We try to live better every. We desire better. We want more. But nothing makes us feel fulfil .
The book isn’t for everyone . Either you will dnf or you will not like it if you don’t deeply understand it.

My Father’s Garden by Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar
I found this one interesting ! I haven’t ready any book starts with such rawness. Tbh I haven’t read much about Santhal tribes .
This book is divided into three parts. First part is about narrator’s friends , love life . We can relate to this part. Dealing with heartbreaks ,his Sexual preference – every little thing we must have faced or facing in our early twenties.
The second part deals with narrator’s first work life experience . He is a Doctor . For the job he has to moved to Pakur from Ghatshila. He slowly tried to break ice around him and mixed with people from that place. One from the hospital who is famous as Bada Babu became his closest there. He used to visit his house,in an illegal basti . The character Bada Babu was famous among the commoners but there was something fishy about him.
The last part is my most favourite part of this book. We get to know about narrator’s family and their root from here. His mother was a doctor and it was because of him . His father was an ideal man. He has broken so many stereotypes we have around us. Not only his father but his grandfather was also a courageous person. Particularly this part reminds me of “Aranyer Odhikar” by Mahasweta Devi which is about the life and fight of tribal freedom fighter Birsha Munda .
The book has touched so many important topics like racism, groupism , poverty , cheating ,self-realization and more.
And so many time I feel like it’s a memoir. Not a random fiction. But It’s Fiction that’s why I keep mentioning the word “narrator”. I like the writing. I must suggest you all to read this book.
4.5/⭐️

I’m looking forward to reading his book – Adivasi will not Dance.
