'' UNDIVORCED, is an interesting biographical portrayal of Paarthiv from Kashmir, in the early fifties of the last century. He was transferred by his employer to Calcutta, only after three months of his marriage; much to the utter displeasure of the new weds then, of course for theobvious reasons. As ill luck would have it, he lost his job there, for whatever reasons and went penniless. He was neither able to return back home, nor was he able to sustain his living as a stranger to the city there, unfamiliar to him in every respect, including the ethnic language for communication. . But being an embodiment of confidence and courage, he fought his way to rise from destitution to an enviable affluence, and came to be regarded as one of the most charismatic alien celebrities of the place, known otherwise for its orthodox civility.However, in the world of audacious society there, he stayed alienated from his wife, who had given birth to his son, only about six months of his departure from his home. The couple remained alienated and estranged from each other for sixteen long years. Then the happy rendezvous of the family took place, through a fateful coincidence, brought about by Parijat, the mentor of their son, interestingly personified by the author himself.The period that followed is an absorbing description of funny incidents, superstition, travels to places, atonement, teen-age romance and a saga of highs and lows, offered by the life in many wishful and weird ways. The novel establishes the fact of life as: 'A Spectacle of Characters,Episodes and Scenes -Scripted by Destiny', which makes it a very interesting read.''
