Binodini, a novel written by the Nobel laureate Dr Rabindranath Tagore, tells the tale of a well-to-do middle-class family of Calcutta. Originally written in Bānglā with the title Chokhar Bāli (literally meaning 'sand in the eye'), the novel has been translated into English by Krishna Kripalani. The translator in his foreword to the novel opines, "It centers round the problem of human relationship and tells of what happens behind the staid facade of a well-to-do, middle-class Bengali home of the period, where a widowed mother lives with her only son on whom she dotes". Apart from telling the story of the family, the novel revolves around two main characters or rather say protagonists-Binodini, a young, talented, educated and beautiful widow; and Mahendra spoilt brat of his foolish mother. Binodini is written, taking the backdrop of contemporary society of Calcutta.

Ananya I believe there is a certain point in a person’s life, where they sincerely, almost desperately wish for a magic wand or a mystical creature to shed some light on what went wrong. A state where your entire world is overshadowed by the fact that you failed. And while, no one openly blurts it out on your face, you can feel it by the way people look at you. On a sudden trip to Srinagar, they find each other. Will they be able to find themselves? Flamingos Beyond PINK is a striking tale of self-discovery, heartbreak, longing, friendship and courage.
