Separated Emotions

Bag om Separated Emotions

This book narrated the lives of the Indian diaspora who for several generations have lived in foreign countries-(with special reference to the Netherlands and the Caribbean)-far from their ancestral homes in India. Whilst initially giving us a glimpse of the common man's life in India itself, they try to illustrate the dual existence of these families' who whilst trying to cling to some resemblance of their original culture have strayed further away as they slip deeper into the mire of a materialistic existence so far from the expectations of their ancestors, who came as bonded labours to work on the plantations of their masters. They also illustrate their interaction with their European counterparts whose lives, they try to emulate and adopt as they multi-task to live normal lives in foreign climes. They also reflect the changing lives of the Dutch people themselves in the ever growing global changes in thought and life style. "In Suriname often the days simmering with scorching heat get doused with the evening rains, but the clash between cold and hot temperatures lead Rohit to have catarrh. His voice became heavy and he can't breathe air in even after opening the mouth fully. Despite this, he had arranged a dinner on full moon night with Lalita at the Torarika hotel."- An excerpt.
