The Palace of a Thousand Rainbows

This is the story of Barun, an unsure boy, born in Calcutta, India. At thirteen, Barun is 5’8” tall and a champion in tennis. Girls fling at him messages in lumped pieces of paper. Mother’s friends shower suspicious affection on him.

He meets Maria a few weeks before his fourteenth birthday. Maria’s pulse stops a few weeks later. A playroom palace, a dry pipal leaf in Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali and his promise to Maria set him on a journey. A journey in search of his Palace of Rainbows.

Several women cross his path intimately. Forty years speed past him.

Does he find his Palace at the end of this tortuous erotic journey!!!!

Socially unacceptable amorous attractions quietly slip into close relationships leading to enduring consequences.

Human frailties make the impossible a reality and the possible a pipe dream……
