Forever & Beyond
A novel about a man caught between a living lover and the obsessive spirit of his late childhood crush.
The story centers on Snehashish, who uncovers Anisha’s one-sided love after her death. He begins to investigate her life, which leads him to Aakanksha. While he develops genuine feelings for Aakanksha, Anisha’s passion remains active and complicated by time. The narrative tracks the growing tension between these three figures. Saumendra uses this triangle to examine fear and belonging. The plot does not rely on traditional ghost stories but focuses on emotional persistence. The outcome depends on whether Aakanksha can materialize her love or surrender to Anisha’s will.
Published by Partridge India in 2016, this work draws on Indian literary traditions of supernatural fiction. It explores cultural views on death and lingering attachment within a modern narrative framework.
