CHAPTER 1

PANORAMA

Isolation is no more bane for an introvert, it’s the space where his flames wander independently, away from the social suffocation, just like an explorer weighing the Panorama. I am not amazed to find such philosophic perspective brewing in mind in this amid lockdown because of my study on the human mind and its nature. That’s how our brain tries to cope up with a situation where we are forced to live in. Right now the whole world is put on a hold. Humanity takes a toll and made peace with isolation and social distancing for the survival of the human race.

It’s been 5 years, the intimacy between my pen and paper has been missing. Although I was told several times by my friends, Mr.Tamble and Sunaina, to start writing and share my experience I was persistent with my numerous reasonable excuses. On the other hand, Sunaina was convinced that those reasons were nothing but Lyadh (In Bengali we call lazy as lyadh). Yes, She has learned some of the Bengali words, especially those words which she can use fairly to poke my ego without any hesitation.

Finally, the confined life of miserable lockdown over 100 days pierced my opaque excuses and a bit of ego as well. During the darkest fight of our time against the extinction of humanity due to COVID 19, I came to realize that sometimes the enveloping darkness aids one to clearer vision; as in a panorama building, for example, where the obscurity about the entrance prepares one better for the climax and gives the scene depicted a more real and vivid appearance. 

These last five years of my life generated a significant development of self-realization and understanding of human nature. It was started with my accidental involvement with Mumbai Police Inspector Mr. Tamble, who is now the DCP of Mumbai Police, and my unquenchable thirst to find the truth behind the mystery but after the murder of Regina and my near-death experience, while finding the killer, I tried to simplify my life by mixing both, the Creative Director and the Truth Seeker, but after some time, it exploded. I lost my way and froze for a while. While I was in the dilemma, one incident opened my mind and I understood that I took a wrong approach to balance my life, instead of trying to merge, I should live parallelly.

CHAPTER 2

TROUBLE IN PARADISE

" Turn little Right … 

Now chin up…

Good one. "

Isabella was a pro but what I love about her, is her ability to improvise. We have worked earlier, so our understanding was smooth. On the other hand, it was Rishita’s first international project. She was a bit nervous but was managing well. Sometimes she was losing her focus but I can’t really blame her. White sandbanks and blue lagoons of Maldives can mesmerize you every time. we wrapped up our shooting due to a bit of gentle breeze. The Maldives has a year-round hot tropical climate with two monsoon seasons. The monsoonal influence is more significant in the north than in the south, which is more influenced by the equatorial currents. Instead of going back to the rooms, we went to Coco Bar, at which the otherworldly beauty of Hurawalhi and the mandatory relaxation are a matter of fact. We all snag a spot on the al fresco deck to admire views of the infinity pool. Coco is the ideal spot to put your feet up and perfect the skill of doing nothing. After a day-long shooting under the tropical sun, we all needed it. Isabela came to discuss today’s shoot with her favorite Pina Colada and also Sex on the Beach. She knows that I am more comfortable with vodka and orange juice instead of White rum with pineapple. While we were discussing, I saw Rishita roaming around the coco bar with boosted energy. She reminded me, my first visit to Hurawalhi Maldives Resort. This lavish resort on a lush private island in the Lhaviyani Atoll is a 40-minute
