The Joy of Captivity

By Iswar Hazarika

The Joy of Captivity
In the flood-ravaged village of Pahukata, young Krishna knows his life is a losing battle against poverty and the rising river. His home on the banks of the Brahmaputra is a beautiful, yet desperate, prison- a confinement that threatens to swallow his future whole.
But Krishna carries a single, burning dream: a better life through education.
When a lifeline appears in the form of a scholarship to an elite residential school, he seizes the chance to break free. Yet, the victory comes at a cost, trading one confinement for another. As Krishna navigates the disciplined walls of his new academy, he discovers a profound truth. The structure he initially views as 'captivity' is, in fact, the very vessel of his liberation.
The Joy of Captivity is a powerful work of literary fiction about a boy's emotional journey from scarcity to self-discovery. It is a story that reveals the surprising truth: the greatest joys can be found within the confines of our deepest challenges.
