As the poet Rabindranath Tagore said in his extensive discourse ‘Palamau Narrative’. Sanjeev Chandra’s genuine and lively passion for beauty is not often seen in Bengali writers. Generally there are signs of a wise aging in our nation. In our eyes, the whole world seems to have fallen into disrepair. It is as if the illusion of beauty has dissipated and the eternal antiquity of the universe is perceived only by us in the world.
That is why we have such profound neglect of beauty everywhere in seat, posture, rhythm, language, manners, residence. But in Sanjeev’s heart that rust did not reign as if he had traveled through a newly created world with a pair of new eyes.
Such travelogue works are very rare in Bengali literature. He has so beautifully analyzed various events in Palamau that will attract the readers. Palamau is a place near Ranchi in Bihar. The writer started his journey from Rajganj at about half past midnight. In the morning, they went to the east bank of Barakar river. The car stopped there because the river had to be crossed. Barakar river, however, had no such water or deep water. Many are walking across. The car driver went to call a porter because he had to push the car to cross.
At that time, the writer saw from the east bank of the Barakar River on the other side of the ghat a Saheb was sitting in Bengali smoking a pipe, a chaprashi was standing in front of him. Young people are laughing in the river. Then their journey started again. Arrived at Hazaribagh the next day at noon. In this book, the author has described the beautiful scenery of the Balakar river.
In this way he crossed Rachi and reached Palamau. There are rivers and villages, they cannot be seen from a distance. Hills are numerous in Palamau Pargana. The watch is surrounded by great beauty.
