Bishakhar Janmadin O Manobhumi by Sunil Gangopadhyay [Hardcover]

Here is the translation of the Bengali text into English:

"Professor Bishakha Nandi started working at a college in a small town. This was a whole new world for her. In Kolkata, she had her lover, Prosit. He was an artist, an atheist, and a liberal-minded person. Bishakha's heart ached for Prosit, yet she didn’t want to let him come close. She had the urge to run to him, but she didn’t. Instead, she cherished that longing. Bishakha rented a room at the house of a man named Prakash Addya, near the college. One day, this man suddenly raped her. Devastated and shattered, Bishakha lost all faith and returned to Kolkata. In utter confusion, she told everything to Prosit. What a surprise—Prosit didn’t reject her! Instead, he said, ‘The human body is like nectar, it never becomes spoiled.’ But this is where the crisis began. An obsession took root in Prosit's mind. It was as if all desire was fading away. How did Prosit overcome this crisis?

Chandan, a seemingly calm young man, was different. He loved the rain. He worked for a pharmaceutical company. Chandan met a writer named Mukulika, and they started getting close. But before their relationship could deepen, Chandan, by chance, met a prostitute named Radha. One day, he married Radha. This marriage defied society. Chandan lost his job. Even Radha couldn’t understand why this man loved her. One day, Radha disappeared. Chandan met Mukulika again, but Mukulika was searching for happiness, while Chandan was seeking love. Soaked in the pouring rain, Chandan suddenly saw Radha. And then? Two stories are intertwined, touching the horizons of love."
