Sex is Not a Four-Letter Word
Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia was a maestro of the cinematic form and the written word, helping to bring Assamese literature and cinema to the forefront nationally. He wove tales of ordinary but never compromising on quality. Saikia's purpose, always, was to depict reality as it was, a fact evidenced in this collection of short stories. Setting his characters in circumstances that test them, Saikia explores human relationships, illustration with startling perceptiveness and rawness, how we as humans often fall short of expectations.

a well written, informative and witty book, covering a subject that is still today for many people taboo. Personally, being a female I have learned a lot about the physical and mental aspects and way of thinking of the oposite sex. It certainly makes me understand my husband better. Well, don Sudhakar, I hope you'll be able to reach a lot of young people in India with your book.

It is absolutely fantastic - everything in style that I would have wanted to use, just the right touch of humour, perfect length of chapters, so you can get back to read when you want to, and the author's knowledge is of course incontestable!!
I will happily and highly recommend this book to all - young and not-so-young.
It should be made more easily available at book sections in airports, railway stations, stores, all over the world.
The best way to buy it is online, through the links on www.sinaflw.com
Please do keep writing Dr Krishnamurti, so people like me will learn a lot more.
