Plot

After a long gap of more than ten years, renowned writer Priyendu Hazarika returns to the town where once he was inspired to begin his journey as a writer. A book at times imitates the author's life. The book in question is an imaginary one, "A River Runs Ashore", woven into a meta-narrative. Memories stir and he remembers people he loved and lost. The conceit of his frequent meandering into memories gives shape to a saga of childhood and loss set in rustic North Guwahati. He admits to lacking the courage to weave a painful, harsh truth into his stories. At the end of the day however, he decides to face his own truth, alone, away from the appreciative audience.
