This is a fictionalized non-fiction story of a family who initially grew up in the Bay of Bengal area of Indian Subcontinent, then moving to New York area living for decades, connecting with Apalachee Bay of the Gulf of Mexico, near Tallahassee, Florida, via Huntsville, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee, both cities near Tennessee River before settling in New York, not far from the Hudson River Bay. The project started over a decade ago, with son Shuvo writing his experience as a young man in 2011-2012 how his life was altered by someone transmitting a virus to an energetic person, with 100% school and college attendance, hurting an innocent life.

Only after Corona virus appeared in 2020 some became aware of transmission of deadly virus and its effects. Shuvo's dad Sachi joined Shuvo in writing the book.

Both of them work for non-profits Probini Foundation which helps the poor and the orphaned in Bangladesh and India, and the other non-profit (ISPaD) the Indian Subcontinent Partition Documentation Project, both of New York. We were helped learning a lot from those project's firsthand experience, and in visiting diverse corners of the world.

Shuvo has visited over 40 countries and territories, and dad Sachi over 120 places. In this memoir-type book our travel to countries and territories have helped us to understand the world, and its warmth, friendliness, contradictions, double standards, hypocrisy, persecution, prejudicial writings, and dishonest presentations by Western and Eastern media, where our lives didn't matter.

Extremely important experience began when the family visited Sachi's ancestral home of 500 years, from where their family was driven out after an anti-Hindu pogrom in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, after 1947 partition of India. Since 1982 they have visited their occupied home regularly, which exposed hypocrisy of the Left and Right, ignoring our lives.

Our experience became a human rights story as well. As there is a saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words," we decided to include pictures for readers to understand it better, especially when it comes from diverse and distant lands.

We thank Authors Tranquility to take up the project. .
