These are a series of essay that were brought out in Different Truths from November to February middle on a weekly basis. They are based on our sojourn in China for eight years which were recorded in a book that I published while living there. These essays are an updated version and vastly different from my earlier publication. Click on the links and enjoy all the essays. They are accompanied by fun filled visuals by Anumita Chatterjee Roy. My heartfelt thanks to Arindam Roy for hosting the essays in the journal. His encouragement actually helped me rewrite and add a lot more than I had thought I would.
