There is Piya, a fellow Bengali-American who sets his journey in motion; Tipu, an entrepreneurial young man who opens Deen's eyes to the realities of growing up in today's world; Rafi, with his desperate attempt to help someone in need; and Cinta, an old friend who provides the missing link in the story they are all a part of. It is a journey that will upend everything he thought he knew about himself, about the Bengali legends of his childhood, and about the world around him. $c Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Booksellers and bookselling $v Fiction. 650 0 $a East Indian Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Quests (Expeditions) $v Fiction. 941 $a 14 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010236.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013827.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054823.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211110010021.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061448.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014909.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20200428010614.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402015029.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204095740.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023025.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20191126030514.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191107010731.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20191005010206.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20191003010608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BD920998DAA211E9A986565A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
