About the Book
‘Where reality ends, myth begins.’
What enigmas lie within the magnificent hills and valleys of the North East? A land of distant myths and stark realities resplendent with rich ethnic flavours has many stories to tell.
A village simpleton aiding the love story of a god; a university student stranded in the wilderness of Arunachal encounters a saviour who is a blend of myth and reality; an innocent love blossoming in the terrorist-infested borders turns into a dangerous game of deception and ploy; an Assamese father fights the dilemma of choosing between the love for his daughter and the love of his daughter—the stories mimic the rich topography of the Seven Sisters.
A collection of four short stories that range from the spoken fables that venerate the mythological heroes to the present-day conundrums of daily life in the region, the tales are varied and enthralling.
