Hello, My name is Ayan Santra. I am an aspiring filmmaker and storyteller driven by a deep passion for exploring human experiences through cinema. Over the past few years, I have written and directed several fiction and non-fiction short films, using them as a space to experiment with form, narrative, and visual language. Alongside filmmaking, I am also a writer, and storytelling remains at the heart of everything I create. Whether through film or literature, I am drawn to stories that challenge conventions, evoke emotion, and provoke thought. I am currently seeking the opportunity to make my first feature film and continue developing meaningful, original work that connects with audiences across different mediums.

Is it a gripping thriller novel or a puzzle game? The answer lies with the reader to discover.

What does this narrative entail? Is it a piece of science fiction or an otherworldly event? How does an incident from the twelfth century reach into the world of 1979 and extend into today's world?

Is the painter Aranyak truly an (in)human? What do the paintings in his Water Demon series depict? Why are scientists like Emily Ferguson, documentary filmmakers like Samriddhi Mukherjee, and famous actresses like Pratiksha Mukherjee searching for Aranyak?

The various mysteries surrounding Aranyak, the unfolding events, diverse opinions, and historical contexts have shaped this novel into a quintessential thriller. The answer revealed at the end of the thriller will evoke a unique ‘sense’ in the reader's consciousness.
