Synopsis:

At Babur Ghat railway station, Neel Lohit waits for his train when another train pulls in. A ticket checker in a black coat steps down, accompanied by a young girl in a yellow frock—caught traveling without a ticket. As the railway officials prepare to penalize her, Neel Lohit recognizes her instantly.

“She’s Neepa, Chandan-da’s daughter! But what is she doing here alone?”

Neepa isn’t the kind of girl to fail exams or run away recklessly. She excels in studies. So why is she here? Did she flee home? Is she headed to Bombay for films? Impossible! Then why?

Thus begins this gripping and deeply sensitive novel, exploring the delicate emotions of adolescence. Through the sharp eyes of Neel Lohit, the story unveils how misunderstandings between parents can stir up intense reactions in a child’s innocent mind. A fast-paced, captivating tale—humorous yet profound.

About Neel Lohit:

Neel Lohit is a wandering young man, forever stuck at 27 years old.

• He has never had a job—nor does he care to find one.
• He travels to places few have ever seen—from lively musical concerts to quiet countryside weddings, from tangled forests to bustling foreign lands.
• He tells lies, but they are harmless lies, never dark or deceptive.
• He meets many people but blends into the crowd so well that no one truly recognizes him.
• Sometimes, he even meets Sunil Gangopadhyay himself.
