lots to take from this novel, kept thinking while i was reading... very deep and profound conclusions can be drawn frm this novel.

always remember: “A snapped wire can never be made whole again,you shall never recapture that lost melody-you shall just exist , grow old with one who does not love you,one whom you will have forgotten to love” .. with this ends, this novel of intricate relationship of husband and wife going through the state of turmoil in their marriage.

Angshu says to himself: “In plays , in novels when husbands are unfaithful, the wives becomes the authors’ and readers’ object of pity or even tragic heroines , but when the reverse happens,when the husband has sufficient reason to suspect his wife, & becomes jealous- nearly always – he is depicted in a slightly ridiculous manner , as the eternal stereotypical ‘jealous husband’.

Marriage! What a complex,difficult,necessary and fantastically durable institution it is-yet how fragile!

"A 'cold' war never actually declared,a war with eyes,a war in each and every step,an archery of words hidden in trivial utterances.There are many things which just can't be said-not in bengali,not in any language-things which we can say only by saying something else,or which everyone understands even if left unsaid."

unputdownable till now.... this author has a very eloquent way of writing,everything so beautifully described herein..
