My Books
Dear Friends,Books have been the first love of my life. Yes, I read them and for long been guilty of authoring some of them. I started writing short stories when I was in school and in 1998 came up with a collection of short stories titled ‘Portraits of Life’. Till date, I have authored 11 books. You have been greatly forthcoming when it came to the general contents of this blog. I hope that you will also be that much interested in my books and hopefully buy them. If you would like to know more about the books, you could click on the covers for more information. And further if you are interested in buying them a comment at the appropriate page of your desired book would immediately have been responding to your desire. You could find more information on how to buy the books on the respected books page. However, to summarize here the same, you can simply post in the comment desiring to buy the book. I would get in touch with you through email. You will have the liberty to pay the price of the book through Paypal, Bank Draft or Money Order. Once the money is received, I acknowledge the receipt of the payment and send you the details of the books dispatched to you. As simple as that. Further, you could read the chapters of the book before buying the book. You could also gift the books to your friends and family members.
Thanking you,
with best regards
Barun
P. S. Though I have authored 11 books so far, the following are presently available for online sale. Still negotiating with my publishers. However, I hope that in due future I am able to including all my books on this blog. Friends, you can also avail yourself of the PDF versions of the book. Details are included in the respective pages.

Dear Miss Shital Pradhan,
Greetings from Darjeeling and thank you very much for your comment. It is my privilege that you liked Fallen Cicada. And since, I am coming up with my twelfth book, I would like to send the same signed and dedicated to your name. Of course, as gift! Could you then be so kind enough to give me your postal address?
Best Wishes.
Thanking you,
yours truly,
Barun Roy

I can remember reading your Portaits of Life. It was such a nice book. I gifted it to my sister. Can I purchase your books online?

Hi Barun!
I haven’t read any of your books but will be on the look-out if, and when, I can get my hands on ‘em. Could you give me more details about Mandalay and Beacon publications,for instance the snail-mail or website addresses? Thanking you for the time and consideration.
Regards,
Satis

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your interest in my books. You can now buy them online and even in PDF version if you are living abroad. A lot of my friends ask me to send them my books but the postage bills are certainly a killer. I have converted most of my books into PDF versions and you can now get them for dirt cheap and at instant convenience. However, if you are in India and abroad and can’t do without the rustic smell of the paper in your hand and the book itself to carry around while you travel…nothing beats paper. Printed versions of all my books are available and you can purchase them with a little added sum due to postage. Still, you can find my books cheaper than others. Of course, I hope that the contents are also pleasing and relevant. At present I am marketing six of my books online and you can buy them by simply sending me a Bank Draft of the specified amount. All drafts can be in favour of “Barun Roy” and payable at Darjeeling. As soon as you post the draft to me, you can email me and I promise to send the books forthwith.

Hi Barun!!
I am from Kolkata. I came across to your blog while searching for himalayan aqautic plants in google but could not find any useful information. I am a fresh water planted tank (aquarium) hobbyist. Sikkim & Darjeeling with so many rivers & streams is ideal location for weather conditions for aquatic plants like glossostigma or heminanthus (New Zealand natives)to thrive, which is good demand across globe. But often while sourcing the same imports from Bangalore we do not get good varieties. So can you or anyone provide any help on this?

Hi Barun:
Although I was born, raised and studied in Kurseong, currently I am living in Kathmandu since last 28 years. I just learned about the book entitled “Fallen Cacada The Unwritten History of Darjeeling Hills” and the title itself attracted me and curious to know if this book is available in Kathmandu. I checked a few book stores and unable to find it. Appreciate if you could guide me to find this book. Regards. Ningma.
barunroy said
Dear Ningma,
Greetings from Darjeeling!
I am sorry that my books are presently not available in Kathmandu. You could send my your postal address and I could have the same sent to you through post or courier. The price of the book is Rs. 250 plus Rs. 50 extra for postage to Kathmandu.
Please feel free to contact me if you require more information.
With best wishes and regards
Barun

Dear Barun,
You have whetted my curiosity and I will try to get hold of “The fallen Cicada” as it seems to bear relevance to the movement. Nice to know that Darjeeling has good talents like you. Best wishes for your future endeavours. The Booker award, maybe?

Dear Barun,
I am extremly proud to have people like you in Darjeeling. You are really doing good job. Keep it up. But I have a small request which is based on my observation(I may be wrong).
My question is..why is the news of NEPAL so much highlighted in this blog..Is it just a coincidence?
thank you,
Dawa

Dear Mr. Ahmed,
I would be very much grateful. I am going through the history of Bangladesh right now. My paternal ancestors were from the House of Bhowal.

Hi Barun da
well, could you please put a copy of Fallen Cicada for free download
barunroy said
Dear Bahini,
Greetings from Darjeeling! Please do give me a day or two and I will try to release some excerpts from Fallen Cicada. I cannot release the entire book in PDF format free online because, I am taking out Fallen Cicada 2 – Unwritten History of Darjeeling in the coming future and since it is being published by a publishing house they want to keep a strict check on the circulation of the book including text and images. I can promise you one thing though. The day Fallen Cicada 2 comes out I will have it dispatched to you as a gift.
