Book Description

About the Book This story is about reconnection with one’s roots, culture, and upbringing. Joy, the protagonist of the story hails from an Indian bengali family and is settled in Denmark with his mother, wife Shree and daughter named Misti. Though he belongs to a zamindar (landlords) family in Bengal, he is almost disconnected with the bengali culture because of the preoccupations and the distance from the culture and the homeland. He is often filled with guilt that he is not giving enough exposure of bengali culture to his daughter and she may face identity crisis in future. Don’t worry, this story is not about this common issue faced by most of the nonresidential Indians, irrespective of their culture. This story is about turn of events that leads Joy to return to his roots and reconnect with his culture. It often so happens with all of us that because of frequent adaptation to our surroundings and people around us, we change so much that we often forget or suppress our true self. But that is securely preserved in some remote corner of our soft heart, waiting to resurface at an opportune moment. The joy of expressing our true self is the joy we all long for… Let’s see ourselves how that happens with our main character of this book…JOY

About the Author Sujay Chatterjee is working as a Project Director in a German MNC in Denmark. Sujay is happily married and is blewed with two kids. Sujay tales pleasure in experiencing, expressing and sharing simple pleasures of life, simple moments that over a period of time becomes special. Sujay with other 4-5 Bengali family started the first Durga puje in Northern part of Denmark which has completed 5 years in 2023. Sujay has combined his experience from this initiative, his concern of getting his children connected with the culture and his own childhood memories into this story to signify the importance of cubure, friendship, togetherness and mutual empect. Sujay believes that most precious human emotions are simple and often unspoken.

Foreword I met Sujay for the first time in June 2024 in the Danish city of Aarhus Lwhich I was visiting to celebrate the International Day of Yoga celebrations being organized by the local Indian community. Having arrived recently in Denmark to assume charge as Ambassador, this was my first visit to any city out of Copenhagen. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very vibrant Indian community not only in the capital city of Denmark but even in other corners of the country. Today the Indian community numbers about twenty thousand in Denmark. Sujay is one among them of these remarkable Indians who have ventured out of India and with their hard work, intellect and sincerity established themselves successfully in these foreign lands, contributing to the economy of Denmark, respecting the local culture and trying to integrate. Their presence strengthens the popular aspect of India-Denmark friendship and diplomatic relations. The yearning of the Indian diaspora abroad for India, their memories of their lived culture and languages from their native regions of India and their efforts to remain connected with their roots is manifested in diverse ways celebration of Indian festivals in Denmark, creating community and cultural organizations and coming together on nationals days like the Republic Day, the Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti and other such occasions.

Preface This story is about reconnection with one's roots, culture, and upbringing. Joy, the protagonist of the story, hails from an Indian Bengali family and is presently settled in Denmark with his mother, wife Shree and daughter Misti. Though he belongs to a zamindar (landlord) family in Bengal, he is almost disconnected from the Bengali culture because of the preoccupations and the distance between the culture and the homeland. He is often filled with guilt that he is not giving enough exposure of Bengali culture to his daughter, and she may face an identity crisis in future. Don't worry, this story is not about this common issue faced by most of the non-residential Indians, irrespective of their culture. This story is about a turn of events that leads Joy to return to his roots and reconnect with his culture. It often happens with all of us that because of frequent adaptation to our surroundings and people around us, we change so much that we often forget or suppress our true selves. But that is securely preserved in some remote corner of our soft heart, waiting to resurface at an opportune moment. The joy of expressing our true selves is the joy we all long for... Let's see for ourselves how that happens with our main character in this book... JOY.
