Chirajit Paul
Chirajit read ‘The Alchemist’ much later in his life, but when he did he wondered whether the great Coelho had written those famous words about ‘the universe conspiring to help you achieve’, only for him. An average student with no extraordinary skills, neither resources, Chirajit defines himself as a man with two basic traits – conviction and perseverance. “And those are enough for one to command success,” he says. Today Chirajit stands before the world as a trained Chartered Accountant, a professional in Business and Technology consulting and an author of entertaining yet thought provoking literature.
“Writing came to me as a blessing from the sky on a lonely snowy winter evening while I was far from home (5000 miles that is) and loved ones. I looked up into the sky and pleaded ‘Oh god, how do I spend one year like this?’ and he must have smiled. The business assignment was kind of exile to me, but exiles could do wonders to the inner self,” He observes out of content.
An accomplished professional in his own right Chirajit believes he has a lot to vent outside the business and technology jargons which has become his survival kit for years.
Chirajit lives in Kolkata with his journalist wife and student daughter, works for a global consulting firm for his ‘bread and butter’, and frantically scribbles words on paper for what he calls his ‘kebab and biriyani’ – which gets him his social, psychological and spiritual satisfaction.
Chirajit has authored many novels and novellas. A closer look at the subjects of his books will reveal he doesn’t want to be restricted into any single genre.
# ‘The Obituary of Salim Nabi’ presents a view of the politics around terrorism and secularism in contemporary India through the eyes of a young Muslim protagonist.
# In ‘The Fragrance of Rose’ Chirajit has dealt with the contentious issue of sexual harassment by weaving a gripping story around it.
# In ‘Sea of Kashmir’ Chirajit wrote about Kashmir and its liberation struggle looking at it from different perspectives. The story which is placed in the future (2030) talks about a strange incident which changes the fate of Kashmir forever.
# Chirajit’s fourth novel 'The Man, the Ghost, and the Proposition of God' is a dark comedy around philosophical questions involving vulnerability of life, karma and welfare of mankind.
# Republic of Wisdomia’ (2018, Utopian fiction/ Science fiction/ Romance) is a protest against the developed world’s aggression towards smaller nations. It propagates world peace and identifies love as the strongest emotion even in polity.
# Sita and Draupadi: Where Valour Prevails’ (2019, Mythological fiction) is a new epic created from a merger of Ramayana and Mahabharata which revolves around the crimes committed against the protagonists and their retribution.
Chirajit has strong views about the world around him which he presents with a lot of wit. His research and empathy for the subjects he writes about shows in the involved narratives.
