📚 About the Book:

"Damka Haoya" is a compelling novel that delves into the complexities of relationships, ambition, and self-discovery.

Sugata, once an ordinary man, transforms overnight as his Blue Whale Financial Services flourishes in the market. With money and power come luxury, women, and alcohol—he is no longer the same man. His wife, Ahona, feels abandoned, as Sugata drifts farther away, lost in his extravagant world. Filled with resentment and disillusionment, Ahona leaves him behind and moves to the small town of Alaipur with her mother, where she establishes "Ashabari Samiti", a welfare organization.

Ahona earns the respect and admiration of the local people, creating a new identity for herself. However, her past isn't done with her yet—one day, Arghya, the younger brother of her old friend, arrives in Alaipur. He claims to be working on a project that requires him to stay there for some time. But is that the real reason for his presence?

🔹 Will Ahona's hardened heart soften in Arghya's company?
🔹 When Sugata comes back to take her home, will she return to her old life?
🔹 And why is the police after Arghya?

"Damka Haoya" is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the unpredictable winds of fate, where unhappy souls seek solace in unexpected places.
