Matichchhanner Diary / ??????????? ???????

<p>Identifying the ever-changing markers of a constantly flowing time is an immensely difficult task for any writer. Yet Shri Ashis Kumar Patra has chosen this arduous pursuit as his life&rsquo;s mission. The degradation of self-centered human beings&mdash;their pettiness greed lust and repugnant self-serving existence&mdash;has tainted the very canvas of our contemporary time and social life. The disoriented chaotic nature of this era finds a powerful echo in the sensitive prose pieces of Ashis&rsquo;s &ldquo;Matichchhanner Diary.&rdquo;</p><p>This diary born of deep resentment loathing anger and overwhelming sorrow might already be familiar to readers who have experienced the poignant poetry in his earlier works &ldquo;Bratya&rdquo; and &ldquo;Khidhe.&rdquo; The wounds and bloodstains on the poet&rsquo;s heart inflicted by the inhuman and beastly behavior of mankind came alive in those poetry collections with striking immediacy and intensity. &ldquo;Matichchhanner Diary&rdquo; perhaps marks a new and compelling extension of that same emotional landscape&mdash;this time through a series of diverse and evocative prose writings.</p>
