Recollections sometimes enable the inherent ability to bring out specific events stored in memory that normally remain buried at an advanced age. Arati’s memories of her childhood and adolescence were astonishingly detailed in nature, as if the decades’ old events, whether they were related to nature or structure or social scenario, were unfolding before her. Based on these memories, this is a real-life story about an immigrant from East Pakistan, whose life was ripped apart due to the Liberation War.Her memories of the faith of the rural people on quacks held a lot of significance as she was able to draw out the differences between the rural and the urban mode of treatments. With herself being an urban dweller for a considerable period of time, she had the extensive and modern technology used in her treatment and thus wanted to highlight the rural–urban differentials.
