Sabarna Roy is one modern day author who has not only tried his hand at different genres of literature but also shown his calibre and potential to excel in all writing. If the reader has read his works like “The Abyss” or “Pentacles” or “Frosted Glass”, he surely will not want to miss reading “Random Subterranean Mosaic 2012-2018 - Time Frozen in Myriad Thoughts”. As the title suggests, this work is about random thoughts which perhaps have been developed over the years. On reading through the text, that is what the reader understands too.
The work has a record of different thoughts and ideas the author may have had at different junctures of his life. This can be understood by simple names that he chooses like “Gulmarg”, “Chilka”, “Vembanand Lake” or “Jaipur- Niros” for his writing. The names are enough to suggest what is to follow.
This nature of randomness gives a kind of uniqueness and also hints at the invention of a new form of writing in the literary sphere.
Roy goes to lengths where he mentions actual people living and talks about them in his works like “Debjani and Bazaars”, “Mari Esai”, “Hunan’s Daughter”, “Ashani and Anushua", "Rahul and the Thai lady", Mridula and Rituraj" etc.
He shows his ability to write poetry in “My Life-I” and “My Life-II”.
Roy’s style of writing is different from the mainstream writing and the influence of being well read is thoroughly reflected in his works. The fact that he writes on issues affecting the contenporary scenario highlights his being in touch with the reality which is more or less a prerequisite for an ideal literary personality.
Since the nature of his work is random, it can be read by people of all ages as everyone can select what they would prefer to read on the basis of the titles. The language is also finely written and can keep the reader connected throughout.
