On the midnight waters of Kolkata’s old Hedua Talab began a promise between four boys, a promise born from friendship, philosophy, and the immortal words of a monk who once swam into history.
Midnight Swimmers is a haunting tale of dreams, loss, resilience, and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit. From the lanes of North Kolkata to the roaring seas of Kanyakumari, this story journeys through memory, sacrifice, and a vow that refuses to drown.
Listen to the audio story and dive into a world where courage swims against every current.
Some of my books (collection of short stories, novels, and more) are available in print and digital editions. They gather many unique journeys, quieter questions, and stories that continue beyond this page.

That is so true, deep, and profound. You are absolutely right. Perhaps what you say also translates a bit towards “count your blessings”.

Dear Iris, thank you so much. So glad that you liked the Audio version of this story. No, I do not have such a powerful voice. I am using AI voice for my audio stories. This frees up my time on concentrating on writing stories rather than spending a lot of time recording them. I add a lot of sound effects, that much of sound editing I have to do to make a good audio product.
