Sinopsis

From the early 1950s to the early &rsquo,60s, Malay Kumar Roy spent around ten years as a young boy in Hazaribagh in the Chhotanagpur district of Jharkhand, which was then a part of Bihar. InáAn Elsewhere Place, Roy reminisces about his life there&mdash,a place that &lsquo,touches a boy forever&rsquo,.In this memoir, he vividly describes Hazaribagh&rsquo,s tranquil landscape, its changing seasons and its unhurried pace of life. We get a glimpse of a time gone by from Roy&rsquo,s stories about sharing a crate of mangoes with the last Englishman living in Hazaribagh, a little bear cub tipsy on mahua flowers, a gravely injured fox cub that was nursed back to health by him and his family, and a visitor from Calcutta who boasted about his detective skills and courage but lost steam upon seeing a dangerous criminal. And he revisits his schooldays at St Xavier&rsquo,s School where his Jesuit mentors taught him the value of curiosity and discipline in life.Written in charming, spare prose, this collection evokes a gentle, easy-going time when man and nature existed in harmony, a time of friendships, wonder and grace.
