About the Book:
Set in 1942, Delhi, Vignettes en Route (Drishtipaat) is a deeply reflective travelogue-like account written by a young Bengali journalist who has just returned from England. The book takes place during a turbulent period in Indian history—the controversy surrounding the Cripps Mission. Crafted through a series of letters to a lady friend, the narrative provides a unique, introspective glimpse into the capital city, blending its multifaceted history, myths, and rich diversity with humor and spirit.
The author, Jajabor (a pen name for Binay Kumar Mukhopadhyay), brings Delhi’s 1940s era to life through vivid character sketches and keen observations of the urban environment. The city, a melting pot of immigrants, mirrors the stories and personalities of those the author describes—showcasing how Delhi has long been a hub for people from all walks of life.
The book captures the essence of this vibrant and layered city, combining historical reflection with personal insights, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in the city's past or the nuances of immigrant life.
