FICTION AND ITS IMPACT ON HUMAN PSYCHE:

The impact of the fiction novel on the mind is far-fetched and long-lasting as it is apparent in the blog as per the following;

In my seventeenth book titled “Something about her eyes “ (part II of the ongoing series, Riya’s Predicament), I tried an aura. Please read this abstract:

I thought of you when I read this quote from "SOMETHING ABOUT HER EYES : THAT HAS AN AURA OF ROMANCE (Part – II) (RIYA'S PREDICAMENT)" by BIKASH PAUL CHOUDHURY, YUDHAJIT (PEN NAME) -

"The airport announcements and the hum of conversations around her seemed distant as Riya grappled with the weight of the letter. She replayed the scenes of that night, questioning her decisions and the consequences they had for both their lives. She opened the folded letter again and read it line by line meditatively. The letter went as follows.

Dearest Riya,

Let me congratulate you on the outset for doing a great job in detecting the hands of the crime syndicate and bringing them to the books. But also share your pain, grief, and frustration that you were reprimanded by your employer for no rhyme and reason.

This is life, you know!

Do you know that I also received a similar fate? In my investigation in the Indo-Bangladesh border posting that night when you came to meet me, I too was devastated at the attitude of my boss in Delhi as they had other things to consider and took me out of that case.

When you met me that evening, I remember how sorry my state of mind was. You didn’t bother about my state of mind then. You ignored me throughout my three-month stay in your country. What was my fault? Was it my shortcoming that I loved you dearly? Was it my mistake that I could not forget you? How could you be so cruel? How could you act so selfish only to be concerned about your derailed younger brother?

You know, I would have saved your brother even if you hadn’t come to my quarter that night to request me. I always knew that your brother was a small entity in the entire scheme of things and the extent of the size of the crime. I would have always considered his case with sympathy.

Let me confess that I was at my lowest ebb and was desperate like never before in my life. I was sorry and repentant for my actions that night, and I beg for your forgiveness.

But remember always that I loved you intensely, and still I love you. Those two eyes of yours haunt me even today, and I can not forget them. I can not forget the time I had with you in the Andamans, and still, I miss them. It is also designed that I will always treat you with the same feelings and intensity even if you don’t pardon me.

Be happy wherever you are.

Yours forever,

Rajesh Saigal.

With a heavy heart, Riya folded the letter and placed it back in its envelope. The departure gate for her flight loomed ahead, a stark reminder of the impending journey back to Mumbai. She couldn’t escape the reality of the present, but the echoes of the past refused to be silenced.

As she stood up, the letter safely tucked into her bag, Riya couldn’t shake off the feeling that the story between her and Rajesh was far from over. The unresolved emotions lingered, leaving her in a state of profound introspection.

The announcement for her flight interrupted her thoughts, and she walked towards the departure gate. The plane awaited her, ready to carry her back to Mumbai, back to the life she had known. Yet, the letter from Rajesh cast a shadow over the certainty of her path.

In the quiet solitude of the plane, Riya stared out of the window, lost in the clouds that drifted beneath. Her mind was a canvas painted with the complexities of love, forgiveness, and the uncharted territories of the heart.

As the plane soared through the sky, carrying her across borders and time zones, Riya couldn’t escape the truth that lingered in Rajesh’s words. The journey ahead held uncertainties, and she wondered if fate would intertwine their paths once again.

The story that had begun in the border outpost, traversed through London, and now found itself in the confined space of an airplane was a testament to the unpredictable nature of life.

Riya closed her eyes, allowing the hum of the engines to lull her into a contemplative silence.

The epilogue of her investigative saga had yet to be written, and the echoes of Rajesh’s letter resonated within her, a whisper of a connection that transcended time and distance. The turbulence of emotions within her mirrored the unpredictable flight path, and as the plane charted its course through the night sky, Riya found herself on a journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and the possibility of a love that refused to be confined to the pages of the past.
