Synopsis:
Does the body truly obey the mind’s commands, or is there another body hidden within, with its own desires and consciousness? This question forms the core of Sharirer Bhitar Sharir, a novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships, physical desires, and emotional conflicts.

The protagonist, Samyadeep, struggles with his physical and emotional existence:

• Though he is with his wife Ujjayini, her body feels unfamiliar to him.
• He obsessively visits morgues, seeking to understand the dead body of his father's lover.
• Even in the most intimate moments with his wife, his own body refuses to respond, waiting for the inner body to awaken.

Through Samyadeep’s journey, the novel explores the mystery of the body, the tension between physical desire and emotional detachment, and the eternal question—Is the body everything, or is there something beyond?
