Tilottama at a glance. Book review by Sadvika Kylash.

Posted on December 27, 2021December 28, 2021 by Sadvika Kylash

The book, Tilottama at a glance, is a short book written by Sreeparna Sen as a part of her blog challenge and then compiled her posts into a book. The book goes with a subtitle – Nooks and corners of the city of joy.

Book rating:

5/5

What I love:

After reading the book I do agree with the quote the author mentioned in her book, “Calcutta is beautiful. Whenever you place a camera, you get a vision.” – Pradeep Sarkar.

As I started exploring my journey of Kolkata with Sreeparna’s writings I instantly got connected with Adda’s. Yes, I too have amazing memories of having random chit-chats with friends at an adda. She almost gave me a realistic feel by her description.

Literature and Kolkata go hand in hand. Boi Para and Boi Mela (bookfair) I have heard a lot about the annual book fair held and I love these kinds of book fairs, where it is not just about the writers but also readers. Love the interaction sessions held.

I would like to jump again to the addas. My vivid memory about the addas is long talking’s along with some amazing chai! As quoted in the book, “The thirst for the perfect tea cannot be achieved with those videshi machines and the tea bags provided by some offices. It has to be from the roadside stall, served in the earthen cups.” I am sure, all readers would nod their heads when they read this.

Durga pooja and Bengali are so inseparable. Sreeparna’s vow not to be out of Bengal for the Durga pooja was one such fact that we experience when we couldn’t celebrate our favorite festival.

Every acceptance of her description in the book made me realize of me having the same sort of experience with my city too. My long-awaited wish list includes visiting Bengal during the Durga Pooja and experiencing a whole new different world.

Titlottama at a glance is a short and light read with just 70 pages. As this is a book compiled from a series of blog posts, chapters are in alphabetical order. Each of the chapters gives us the local feel of Kolkata.

    The book seems to be interesting, what is really fascinating is the fact that it is set in the enigmatic city of Calcutta. Also the fact that it is concise makes it worth a quick read.

    The book seems to be an interesting read, looks it is a journey through culture and history. No doubt that these lines attracted me the most.. ‘ The thirst for the perfect tea cannot be achieved with those videshi machines and the tea bags provided by some offices. It has to be from the roadside stall, served in the earthen cups.’ Beautifully penned review.
