Our life is full of problems. 'Sandipan' is collection of stories written in Bengali. The stories give vivid description of life of urban and semi-urban people. Their various problems of life are identified and narrated in the stories written by the author. Along with the socio-economic condition, many problems in our life arise due to lack of inner relationship among each other, generation gap even in the same family, heterogeneous cluster of persons having different outlooks, interests, views, habits, demands etc. According to the author, there are certain cardinal principles which can make our life peaceful and free from many problems. These principles are applicable not only to a particular human but to all of us. Though many of us are aware about these principles, they are not reflected in our activities, behaviour and thoughts. We are getting deviated from these principles which make our life more complicated and full of problems, though we possess many things in life. Absence of present day holistic education makes us self-centered and generates complications in our lives. These can be solved by changing our attitude, restoring the principles dwindling from our life and exploration of inner world.
