Puchka In The Polder  (English, Paperback, Shayonti Chatterji)

12 Moments from Their Lives. Bittersweet, deeply nostalgic, and sometimes laced with humor, Puchka in the Polder is a collection of real-life narratives, about life, love, and the quiet ache of memories. More than just a reflection on identity, belonging, and the passage of time, it is about embracing change while staying true to oneself. It speaks to anyone who has navigated life’s transitions, juggled traditions with modernity, or found comfort in the familiar flavors of home. At its heart, it is a celebration of resilience, self-discovery, and the deep connections we form through experiences, emotions, and yes, even food. Authenticity is woven into the fabric of this book, with narratives expressed in English alongside Hindi transliterated in English. Just as we blend words, we blend cultures, perspectives, and traditions, creating something uniquely ours. It is not about where you come from but about the universal experience of evolving while holding onto what truly matters. For those who love real experiences raw, honest, and deeply human. Puchka in the Polder is an invitation to connect, reflect, and celebrate the richness of life’s journey.
