Bishwanath Ghosh had alighted from his train at Itarsi station to stretch his legs and grab a glass of tea before he resumed his journey.
Bishwanath Ghosh je prozaik, jehož díla se často zabývají propletenými tématy cestování, identity a místa. Jeho psaní zkoumá podstatu cestování nejen jako fyzického pohybu, ale také jako cesty sebeobjevování, kde hranice a kulturní rozdíly vytvářejí bohatou tapisérii lidské zkušenosti. Ghosh se s oblibou zaměřuje na odhalování složitostí života v různých prostředích a nabízí pohled na města a jejich obyvatele s pronikavým pozorováním. Jeho literární styl se vyznačuje smyslem pro detail a schopností zachytit neuchopitelnou atmosféru míst, která navštěvuje.

‘Calcutta was no longer an old piece of furniture in the attic. It was an antique whose value I had realised.’ With these words Bishwanath Ghosh embarks on an exploration of a city that, as a probashi - non-resident Bengali, he has only recently fallen in love with. He probes the lives of its inhabitants - some famous and others faceless - and at the same time strolls along the Hooghly, wanders in and out of Park Street, College Street, Kalighat, Kumartuli, Sonagachhi, even ending up in a dance bar in Salt Lake.With his adventurous spirit and undeniable wit intact, Bishwanath Ghosh pieces together his own unique idea of a unique city.
