Chapter 1

AcknowledgementsAcknowledgementsFIFTEEN years had passed since my first novel, Of Another Time, was published and ten since my second novel, Spring Also Comes, was published. Since then over the years many of my readers, friends and well-wishers had pointed out many mistakes – some trivial, some serious – in the print of the above two novels. Some of my more serious readers had, I remember, suggested at various times that these mistakes could easily be corrected if my novels were properly edited.

During the following months I got many interesting and helpful suggestions from my well-wishers and friends regarding editing and correcting my first two novels. Looking back to those days a few names stand out for their hard work and sincere effort while giving me support and helpful suggestions in editing the novels. First I would like to thank my sister, Lopamudra and my uncle, Padip Goswami, for pointing out many silly mistakes in a way only they can. Then I would also like to thank my uncle, H. K. Bhattacharyya, and my childhood friend, Anupam Barua, for giving me support and advice regarding the general editing.
