The Realistic Story

Eye On You by Kanchana Banerjee

- Swapna Peri

Life on social media has become more attention-seeking than information-seeking. With the advent of social media, engaging websites like the then Orkut, Facebook, and almost equivalent dating sites like Tiktok that were banned recently, Snapchat and Instagram were primarily meant to share photos of the traveled places, food, and culture have all turned upside down. The primary objective of these sites was to connect people across the globe on a universal platform to share knowledge. But, unfortunately, because of the absence of strict social etiquette, voyeurism, hatred, stalking, personal comparison, adultery, etc., have been increasing comparatively. This book, Eye on You, with the title itself, talks about what the book is about. The blurb also shows that the book is a strict discourse on not using social media.

The story starts with Myra's suspicion of being abused physically the before night. Myra, the protagonist in the story with her friend Dipti, with whom she shares her mental agony, helps her in the investigation.

The language, the narration and the incidents with realistic background make the book a readable one. This is one of those books that will warn and caution today's social media users on how to be careful!
