Amochu

By Krishnopriyo Bhattacharya

Amochu is a Tibetan-by-race river. Except that its machinations of realpolitik have earned it the title of river-guru. Born in Chomulhori, it transports tonnes of silt and cusecs of water to the sea every day. A near-supernatural primeval tree named Lampati is Amochu's closest friend. But Amochu is no benign bringer of prosperity and peace. Instead the river hatches a joint conspiracy with the tree to catalyse a transformation in sapiens civilisation in Tadingdong Valley. Amochu is the narrative of this magical reality.

'Crafted beautifully around the ecological life of a hilly river that bears the name Amochu in Tibetan and is known as the Torsa river in Bengali, this experimental narrative conveys a magically intimate sense of the entangled existence of humans and rivers and of the landscape that sustains them both.'
