Acclaimed Architect Adreesh Chakraborty Releases His Book ‘The Adventures of Inchy Slim’ at Oxford Bookstores


Renowned Architect Adreesh Chakraborty released his first book ‘The Adventures of Inchy Slim’ at Oxford Bookstores Connaught Place on the 14th of January 2018. The book launch event was attended by authors, along with the author’s friends and family.



The Adventures of Inchy Slim is a coming of age story of 4 boys growing up in the 90's in Kolkata. The story is a fictional retelling of the author's childhood adventures and experiences while trying to discover himself and his identity. The protagonist Inchy Slim and his friends – Clumsy, CalC, and Tomato get themselves in and out of trouble while dealing with teachers, bullies, sadhus, and a local goon.


The story is inspired by author's childhood adventures and experiences while trying to discover himself and his identity and includes an assembly of characters including angry teachers, drug-peddlers, sadhus, and even the local goon.
The story unfolds against the backdrop of a complex colonial city; from its grand architecture, old wooden buses and missionary schools to the fears, expectations, and aspirations of its people.


The Author Adreesh Chakraborty is an award-winning architect, product, and interior designer and co-founder of The Earth Home, an architectural, interior, furniture, and brand design company. Adreesh completed his Bachelors in Architecture from Sushant School of Architecture and Design and has worked on Residential, Healthcare, Educational, Institutional, and Hospitality projects.



“The idea for the book sprung out of a conversation with my wife’s friend when I was sharing my childhood experiences and mischief with her. She was both amused and inspired by my journey and advised me to pen down my experiences in a novel. I started writing that night, and a year later the book was born.” said Adreesh, the author.



Speaking about the inspiration for the book, Eena, author’s wife and business partner, said “I’ve always been aware of Adreesh’s adventures, however, the more I started reading Adreesh’s manuscript the more I realized that beyond the humour and innocence of the characters, the book delves into the issue of finding yourself. Inchy and his friends constantly struggle between being themselves and fitting into labels that society has defined for them. For us then, the book became a medium to propagate the importance of authenticity and integrity among younger generations. ”

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a world so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude. It was a crisp day in Havenwood, and the sky was brooding—dark clouds laced with impatient energy before a thunderstorm, as if even the heavens felt the town’s growing melancholy. It was not the kind of town you would expect to be cloaked in loneliness. Stone cottages lined the narrow, winding roads, and the trees had that sage-like stillness that you only see in stories and dreams. I hadn’t been here long when the problem struck me like a slap in the face: everyone was obsessed with finding The One, as if every single person was but half a person, wandering through life like a lost sock in search of its pair. How did a town ...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
