Koishor by Nillohit [Hardcover]

At Babur Ghat Station, Neel Lohit is waiting for a train. Suddenly, another train pulls into the opposite platform, and from it step out a black-coated ticket inspector and a young girl in a yellow frock. Apparently, the girl has lost her ticket. However, railway regulations refuse to acknowledge such excuses. Gradually, a crowd of curious onlookers gathers, eager to witness what happens with a passenger traveling without a ticket.
In a flash, Neel Lohit recognizes the girl—it’s Neepa Bouddi and Chandan Da’s daughter! How did she come here alone? She’s not the kind of girl who fails exams; she’s quite diligent in her studies. At just ten or eleven years old, it’s also unlikely that she’s heading to Bombay to try her luck in the film industry. So what’s the story?
This intricate question sets the stage for Neel Lohit’s extraordinary novel. It delves into how the misunderstandings between parents can profoundly affect the innocent, straightforward minds of children. The narrative unfolds swiftly and keeps the reader engrossed—it’s playful yet profound.
