Eithu Arambha Gourahari Das

Someone has rightly said, "Every end in fact has a beginning. The way night begins at the end of the day . The way day begins at the end of the night. If there has been tears at the end of happiness, there too has been celebration at the end of sorrow."

As a novel "Begins from Here" is a piece of solemn expression of both the inherent tolerance of a woman and potential strength for her protestation as an awakened soul.

It gives the lively narration of love, betrayal, struggle, protestation and finally success of Urbashi, the main protagonist of the narrative. The novel is brilliant and unique in the sense it does not confirm to the rules of the tradition and generalization. For example when Urbashi, the heroine asks Pulak, the hero, "How do you define our relationship?"

His answer is not to define the relationship in the ambit of lover, husband, father and son that arbitrarily confines the relationships in the narrow lanes of those words.

"There exists a relationship between man and woman which is nameless and holds infinite in its embrace."

Based on realities of contemporary happenings, Eithu Arambha is distinctive in its message and unique in its creation as a novel.
