Author : Amit Shankar

Flight of the Hilsa, explores and demystifies the definition of happiness while tracing the story of the protagonist, Avantika Sengupta. As a creative soul; restless and opinionated, life to her has been unkind, even in her chosen career—painting. A chanced encounter with a boat owner, some twenty years her senior, changes everything. With a new found ‘success mantra’ and the ‘boat guy ‘ by her side—as her man, mentor and guide, she starts striding towards her long-cherished notion of happiness-of being a rich and famous painter. But will the Hilsa discover her true calling and happiness? Will her journey yield the expected result? Will she be able to find Captain? Will she again claim her lost life? The powerful yet lucid narrative goes on to answer many such questions.
