THE CREPE JASMINES

Partha born and brought up in a village in Odisha was probably destined to work as a priest in the village temple. However his father who himself was one of the priests in the village temple changed that part of the destiny by sending all his children to study in colleges in the city by doing various odd jobs. Partha on his part transcends various real and imaginary barriers put in place by the society to keep the outsiders outside forever and achieves his goals in life without ruffling many feathers.
