Well-known counsellor and mental health
expert Dr Paromita Bhattacharya's book "Scars
Beneath the Silence" was launched at a well attended event at
the Oxford Bookstore on November 28.
The book focuses on a real-life story,
touching across the issues of mental health and how women are entangled in
a web of love and deceit and online fraud.
This issue is extremely relevant in modern society
and Scars Beneath the Silence aptly brings forward this social
issue.
Dr Paromita Bhattacharya has a degree from
King's College London, who through her personal interactions with patients
has come across such stories.
The guest of honour was veteran actor, classical dancer and activist Alokananda Roy. The panelists for the launch included Julie Banerjee Mehta (Professor, Indo-Canadian Studies, Book Critic); Shahanshah Mirza (IRS, Author and Heritage Enthusiast); Prasun Banerjee (IPS, Author, Actor, Social Activist) and Dr Jonaki Mukherjee (Counsellor, Author, Educator). The moderator was Saheli Mitra (Journalist, Editor, MD, Tales Talks Walks)
Life has an uncanny way of weaving stories that surpass imagination. Behind every face lies an untold battle, and behind every silence, a wound too deep to heal. 'Scars Beneath the Silence' is not just a story, but a journey into the fragile human heart, where at times love and deception collide in unexpected ways. This book springs from the reality that truth is often more complex than fiction. Through the journey of a convict, a healer and the invisible threads binding them, the narrative explores how far human emotions can travel when tested by loneliness, vulnerability, and unfulfilled dreams.
At its core, Scars Beneath the Silence, reflects the universal search for belonging. It examines how relationships, no matter how perfect they appear, can fracture under the weight of absence, neglect, or unmet needs. It is also a reminder that betrayal often begins with longing - the yearning to be seen, to be understood and to be loved.
The author’s intention is not merely to recount an
episode of passion and pain but to invite readers into a deeper reflection
on their own choices and relationships.
