Waiting English 2020

A mystery that spans Jurassic and modern times . Beginning with a fossilized egg, the novel takes up the live issue of bullying or ragging and connects it with mythology, magic, historical research, scientific experiment, contemporary attitudes, and mystical practices. Schoolchildren Anit, Bimal, Chandan, and Deeksha (The ABCD) interact with the elderly and the young around them, and find out that over-strict parenting and schooling can disturb psychology and persistent bantering can lead to violent consequences. Like an egg waiting too long to crack and burst out with the force within.

Her published work includes novels, short stories, translations, and articles.
