THE UNENDING TRAIL

The Authors personal experiences during this long service career, varied from the fulfilling to traumatic, from the happy-go-lucky to the extreme of despondency, and the vicissitudes of a life he has richly lived - with all its hope and joy, all its pain and suffering, all its exuberance and dejection, all its expectation and disappointment, form the basis of this book. It is as refreshing as it is overwhelming, but always real. The experience he narrates in this book spans not only his service life but also his childhood and his student days.The Unending Trail - Journey of a Commoner, the autobiographical fiction novel by Bikash Paul Choudhury, a retired technocrat, is an account of his experience with life. It is narrated in the present tense as the recent happening as a somewhat fictional account, as well it is a collection of his various articles and past events in life explained in past tense simultaneously. His lifes story is a moving, no-holds-barred dissection of his self on the surgical table of life that ebbs and flows in its richness, enveloping all our rationality and irrationality, emotions and frustrations, longing and despair. We sometimes rejoice at our triumphs and achievements, and at times curse ourselves at the follies and blunders we commit willy-nilly. It is an honest account of the remarkable journey of an ordinary man who could have been any of us. Hope the readers will like reading his recounts.
