I started reading this story (short) and being an avid reader felt that it would be same old story in a new cover discussing relationships and coming out of it, but this one was to the point and very straight forward.
Rony Dasgupta, in his book “Hottest Summer Night” describes how a phone call at 11.30 pm on a hot and humid summer night can lead to puzzled situations. The story of Ronit, a Bengali and Aishwarya (Asu) is simple yet interesting. Ronit who is afraid of marriages and doesn’t want to get married has a friend Asu whom he knows since school days. Asu on the other hand is very matured and proves to be the best friend of Ronit. She understands Ronit so well and Ronit feels the comfort that a person needs to live life. Asu loves India but is married to Dhruba settled in Zurich. Ronit and Asu remains in touch by Facebook and their chats are really interesting ones right from discussing Ronit’s marriage to weather in India to Bengali literature to poems all the things that a person discusses with a closed one.
The story is simple yet very thought provoking. It’s said that “Some stories don’t end as you expect, but you feel happy for ending.” This applies to the story of Ronit too.
The photographs in the book in various chapters depict various incidents that happen in the so called City of Joy, Kolkata (Calcutta).
