There's a Ghost in My Room: Living with the Supernatural

by Sanjoy K. Roy


There's a ghost in my room is written by Author Sanjoy K. Roy. He is the managing director of Teamwork Arts which organizes the world largest literary gathering, the annual Jaipur Literature Festival. This is the first book by the author which is an amalgamation of memoir, travelouge and supernatural elements.


Sanjoy's life which is more stranger than fiction. He shares his real life experiences about his encounters with supernatural elements at different places of the world. His first encounter with a spirit was in his ancestral house in Calcutta. He was only five years old. The next presence he felt after a few years in his parent's bungalow in Delhi. Since then he came across many experience with the other worldly creatures both in India and abroad. At times his younger son also felt spiritual presence in some specific places.


We can term the author to have special powers which can sense the spiritual elements and understand them well. Living with the supernatural had indeed become a part of his life. His guiding angels and his Gurudev blessings always protected him from unknown dangers and scary adventures.


The narration is fast paced and engaging. His writing style is warm, full of humour and adventure. This is the first memoir which did not bored me a bit. I felt all the occurrence taking place infront of my eyes which scares me a bit, at times amused me and sometimes left me confused. We also find an account of his initial struggles while building up his team and finally shaping up Teamworks. His worldwide excursion gives us information about the various literary festivals, different cultures and adventures from around the world.


The book has all the elements to entertain the readers, give a look into supernatural elements and surprise us at times. I enjoyed every bit of it.

  *Title: Echoes of Loss and Longing Through Verses: A Look into Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda* In Whispers of the Blue Ghost, Pratikshya Panda invites readers to step quietly into a landscape shaped by memory, longing, and the ever-shifting contours of loss. This evocative poetry collection is not a loud lamentation of grief, but rather a soft, persistent whisper—an intimate exploration of what it means to hold on to the past while learning to let go. At the heart of each poem in this book lies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth. Pratikshya’s poems do not overwhelm with complex language or abstract metaphors. Instead, they whisper truths with a gentleness that lingers long after the final poem has been read.

The recurring imagery ...
