Synopsis:
A tragic accident leaves Bidipta paralyzed, rendering her legs lifeless. Soon, she realizes that not only do physical limbs become numb, but even the closest human relationships can lose their warmth. Her encounter with Chandan changes her perspective—he makes her understand that just as physical disabilities restrict movement, various desires and impulses paralyze the mind. The novel explores the journey of freeing oneself from these mental shackles.

Bidipta’s father, Sadhan, a professional matchmaker, ironically struggles with his own daughter’s uncertain future. Alongside them is Pallabi, a restless and self-indulgent young woman representing a new generation grappling with its own dilemmas. Through a deep exploration of human psychology, Tin Chaka presents a compelling narrative about resilience, emotions, and inner transformation.
