This story is about reconnection with one's roots, culture, and upbringing. Joy, the protagonist of the story hails from an Indian bengali family and is settled in Denmark with his mother, wife Shree and daughter named Misti. Though he belongs to a zamindar (landlords) family in Bengal, he is almost disconnected with the bengali culture because of the preoccupations and the distance from the culture and the homeland. He is often filled with guilt that he is not giving enough exposure of bengali culture to his daughter and she may face identity crisis in future.
Don't worry, this story is not about this common issue faced by most of the nonresidential Indians, irrespective of their culture. This story is about turn of events that leads Joy to return to his roots and reconnect with his culture.

But that is securely preserved in some remote corner of our soft heart, waiting to resurface at an opportune moment. The joy of expressing our true self is the joy we all long for...
Let's see ourselves how that happens with our main character of this book...JOY
