” My thoughts are a mess, nothing is great and I don’t know what to do… But I don’t want to explain it all to you ” The Average teen struggles to externalise, share or explain the complex issues they often grapple with. Teenagers are ‘stuck in the middle,’ where they understand more than children, but are not as emotionally mature as young adults. As a result, they tend to magnify and interpret all their issues in a distorted and confusing manner. This book thus shares a 16 year old’s unique perspective about teenage problems, in an attempt to help simplify and unscramble the thoughts of a teenage mind.

Kamal Kant Lal, in his Hindi novel Aparadh Bodh, has explored the feeling of guilt, and how an individual’s actions and feelings can affect others.
The book commences and ends with this “aparadh bodh” or guilt.
The story revolves around protagonist Satya and his guilt feeling due to his actions, though the entire novel is not only about him but also about other characters like Sanjay, Gopi, and his family.
Kamal Kant Lal has divided the chapters very carefully so that each chapter offers a new angle to the story without breaking the flow of the plot.
It revolves around the guilt of Satya for killing a rustic drunkard by accident and the guilt feeling increases when he witnesses that the dead man’s children and wife are suffering a lot due to his death.
The plot has interesting twists and turns which increase the intensity and suspense of the novel.
A character like Satya is much-needed in our society who can eradicate the evils and negativity of the surrounding and induce a positive change.
In life, each one of us face some situation where we feel guilty of our deeds.
However, only a few can express it and do something to change it.
The readers need to read the entire story to find out whether they agree to it or not.
It is a must-read for all since it has a great message underneath which everyone must know for their benefit and the society’s benefit at large.
The author describes the feeling of guilt and ways to come out of it in his book Aparadh Bodh.

Why did you want to become a writer? Who inspired you to become a writer? What triggered you to come into writing?
I was a voracious reader from my childhood and read all the story books in my school library. Then there was a hardly literate uncle living next to my house. He used to tell us stories almost every night after the dinner. Stories of fairies and demons, kings, princes and princesses. Stories of flying horses and magicians. All the children in the neighborhood would gather around his cot and listen to him till late night. His style of story-telling was so absorbing that it always triggered my power of imagination and took me into the world of fantasy. I wanted to become a story teller like him. One day I decided that I will write stories of the realistic world around me in my neighbor Uncle’s story-telling style. I started writing and in next few years established myself as a good writer.
What are you doing to let readers know about your book?
My book is being marketed by Power Publishers, Kolkata and they have made my book available on Amazon, Flipkart, Infibeam, Snapdea, shopclues, power-publishers and readwhere. I launched my book in Jamshedpur Book Fair in November 2018, kept my books in a book stall in the Book Fair along with a standee to attract people. The book was launched by the Ex-Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Arjun Munda. I got a lot of media coverage in Jamshedpur newspapers. I am distributing printout of the first chapter of my book for free in Jamshedpur. I have a Facebook page, Aparadh-bodh. I am also promoting my book on my own Facebook wall and on Whatsapp.
Say something about your book. Some highlights.
Every one of us some time or the other have come across some situations in life when knowingly or un-knowingly we have committed some mistake that we deeply regret and as a result we curse our own self and torment our hearts. It is very difficult to come out of the feeling of guilt. Often we cannot muster enough courage to accept our guilt. This story gives us the courage to accept our guilt. This is a story that revolves around a Bengali young man Satyajeet Pal – Satya. His desperation to get rid of the guilt of unintentionally killing Gopi brings him to the slum where the latter lived. He decides to look after Gopi’s wife and children and serve the sentence of the crime that he had committed. The slum area is in the clutches of lack of education, poverty and alcoholism, where proper upbringing of the children is not possible. Then he decides to change the entire milieu of the slum street. But he lacks leadership quality. His sheer determination unfolds opportunities and he gets the help of women folks of the slum, who take up the lead and with Satya’s guidance become instrumental in bringing about the change in the society. This story tells how education can lead to women empowerment and social development on the backdrop of Satya’s guilt. I have tried to explore if someone can ever be relieved of his guilt and what is the price he has to pay for it.
Tell me something about yourself and your background.
I am a medical doctor by profession and a writer at heart. I am a resident of Jamshedpur. I have worked for about 18 years in the industrial hospitals of the city, state government of Bihar and Jharkhand and 10 years as a consultant in World Health Organization. My first story got published in the local magazine when I was in the schools. My first novel was published when I was in standard nine. After that I wrote many short stories, poems, satire columns in newspaper, one act plays and a street play. I was the editor of my school magazine and a regular writer in the Hindi magazine published by the students in the Medical College. A few of my short stories won prizes in story writing competitions. Many got published in newspapers and magazines in my school and college days. I was the script writer of a video published by WHO, while working for the organization. After passing out from medical college I got very busy in my professional carrier and hardly wrote anything. Now when I feel that I have so many things to share with the world, I took an early retirement from my job, started my own clinic and I am spending most of my time writing something, which I believe in and enjoy.I am also planning to write screen plays for movies.
Do you plan to take it up as a full time profession if response is good?
I am already actively engaged in writing books. My second book in English is almost complete. The third one in Hindi is half way though. The synopsis of the fourth one has been written. All these books will be printed in next six months or so. I am quite confident that people will like my style of writing.
‘Parishram’ highlights on hard work and perseverance, says author Rahul Tiwari
Congratulations on the release of ‘Parishram’. What is the feedback from your friends and readers who have already read your book.
Thank you so much. Well I am glad people are liking the book and few of my young readers are really inspired by the story which makes it a real success.
What kind of books inspire you as a writer? Who are your favorite authors?
I like books which have a good motivational message hidden in them, it can be a fiction or a true story, I like Chetan Bhagat’s writing as it connects with the readers. I also like Ashwin Sanghi and Amish Tripathi.
Why did you want to become a writer? Who inspired you to become a writer? What triggered you to come into writing?
I always thought I was clever at imagining things. When I was a child, I loved reading and imagining things and making my own stories. When my brother Tanmay Dubey wrote his first book, it inspired me to follow in his footsteps which led to our first book ‘ The Amigos’. After that I felt it was time to do it alone and ‘Parishram’ happened.
What are you doing to let readers know about your book?
I am using social media and few interviews like these to let the readers know more about the book so that they can go ahead and buy. Also I would be going to a few schools and colleges and interact with the youth.

Why not. Writing has always been my passion and if my readers encourage me I would write more and be a mainstream author.

This is a must-read for those who are planning to open and own an organisation and also for those who already have it and work there.
What is the feedback from your friends and readers?
The people who read ‘Durga’ (the first volume) said that the Durga increased their mental strength. They feel she is the daughter of their house. Durga is the living documentary of life, mind, desire and suffering of women. Basically, on my wish and request from my readers, I first thought of publishing it in book form.
What kind of books inspire you as a writer? Who are your favorite writers?
Psychological novels. My favorite authors: Manik Bandyopadhyay, Santosh Kumar Ghosh, Atin Bandyopadhyay, Premankur Atheri, Joy Goswami and Bani Basu.
Why did you want to become a writer? Who inspires you to become a writer? What’s the problem?
I did not want actively to be a writer. But writing spontaneously turned me into a writer. This is the feeling of a pure suffering, which has taken shape in the form of words.
No special person has inspired me to write. Rather, this thought has inspired me that the life-sustaining experiences that I have enriched me should be left somewhere for the next generation of women, so that someone can find answers to their own life-questions in this novel.
What are you doing to let readers know about your book?
Nothing special. I believe, if it is honest literature, then the reader will find it … today or tomorrow. I just posted the pictures of cover design on my Facebook wall and on my own page, where I first wrote Durga and received huge response.
Tell me something about your book. Some highlights.
‘Durga’ is not a story of a goddess; it is the story of the transition of a baby girl. Her psychology, material life, the art of her life, which has shadowed many women’s happiness and sorrow, success-failure, love and love-breaking pain. How to make changes in circumstances outside the control of the people, how to overcome it, a girl learns to make her pain in her compositions from adolescence, how the world snatches away from her hands, and after completing all her work after reaching the end of her life she takes up the pen as a tool. By doing so, one is struggling with a singular struggle. The novel is a continuous articulation that will be completed in four episodes. Durga is a symbol of women power here.
Tell me something about yourself and your background.
I was born in a simple but educated and close-knit middle-class family in Calcutta. I identified myself as a well-taught, self-reliant, well-liked humanist personality. Being a teacher, I had a long-standing communication with teen girls. This is my real identity. Promotion of my life by promoting the spirit of self-respect and education among teen girls through teaching.
Do you plan to take a full time profession if response is good?
Writing is my passion, my own resource. And teaching is my career, my place of love. Both are necessary in my life. I want to maintain these two sides in parallel. So at least I have no plans for an early retirement from my career.
