As a passionate author, he is constantly occupied in translating his plots and imagination into various genres of fiction writing.

Siddharth: The Soul Seeker by Anandajit Goswami is a novel that explores a spiritual and existential journey set against the backdrop of India's tumultuous partition era.

With utmost poignancy and subtleness, the book conjures up a landscape of human emotions and sheds a plethora of light on the predicament of the protagonist Siddharth who has to bear the agony of displacement, partition pangs and deep psychological alienation.

As we leaf through the pages of this inexplicably gripping narrative, we find that Siddharth, the chief character is an ordinary boy who has suffered the mayhem and massacre that lacerates the torso of mankind in the wake of the gory partition of India. The novel also stands as a great testimony to the fact that the finer virtues like humanity and compassion never evaporate from the planet earth even if there is gruesome blood-bath and chaos all around. The hapless child is raised quite in a dotting manner by a compassionate Muslim woman.
