In The Autumn Of My Life

Introduction

This story is about a family, an affluent family who presided over the town. From a purview, it crops up like numerous and varied other families round the world - shielded, undefiled, decent, virtuous. Draw closer though, and you start seeing the nether obscurity.

The town has one, ancient yet quaint chateau - Jhargram Rajbari (ancestral home), the Roy Chowdhury family's royal residence with its emblematic lakes and temples, a township of itself. And, incarcerated within its walls like some veiled heroine was the splendor of antiquity, still repenting and holding the unseen. Coupled in death even as they were in life.

What you are about to flip through are part of twined yarn connected to the crushing and morbid events that befell the family of Roy Choudhary. They subsist all the more grievous because those who bore witness to these odious things were, so puerile. These offshoots embarked with the letter from the father to his son.
