I Wasn’t Trying To Discover New Places. I Wasn’t Going To Break Or Create A Record. I Was Going Only On An Impulse, Entirely My Own, Just Out Of The Natural Curiosity That Life Brings, The Delight Of Living. Was This Not A Valid Enough Reason? With Curiosity In Her Heart And A Prayer On Her Lips, Nabaneeta Hauled Herself On To A Truck And Set Off On A Journey To Fill Her Unfilled Bag Of Stories. Sacks, Paper Cartons, Steel Cupboards, Wicker Furniture, Baskets Of Angry, Clucking Chickens, And A Sharp Smell Surrounded Her. How Many Days In This Stench? How Many Hours? How Many Endless Moments? This Is A Travelogue Of Nabaneeta’s Journey From Jorhat In Assam All The Way To The Mcmahon Line At The Indo-tibetan Border, A Trip Undertaken On An Impulse, Detailing Her Encounters With Countless Ordinary Individuals, Their Reactions To A Middle-aged Woman’s Solo Road Trip In India In 1977, And The Extraordinary Events That Unfold Along The Way. Reflective And Humorous, The Narrative Presents Travel As An Avenue Of Liberation.
