Kolkata witnesses new novel launch on Valentine’s Day

In his earlier books the protagonist “Dev” dumps several girls. When asked why the author jokingly said: “I cannot do it in real life, so I do it in my books.”

“Dev ends up with the most gorgeous women in the books.  We are similar but we don’t live similar lives,” Durjoy added.

The author has focused on relationships in most of his books, and when questioned why, he said because people can connect with such kind of topics.

When question was asked apart from love stories what would be the other subjects that he would like to write, he said: “I want to try fantasy books. I am a big Harry Potter and Twilight fan. I would like to give Twilight a shot.”
