Description

“Raks Hasa” is the real story of a young research scientist who experiences a psychological collapse after heartbreak. Always guided by logic, rational thinking, and a fascination with numerology, she suddenly finds herself unable to process intense emotions when her bond with a man named VP ends abruptly. The unexpressed loss gradually pushes her into “Psychosis”, a state where her perception of reality changes and she experiences hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. In her struggle, she creates a fake social media identity to maintain a connection she cannot let go of. VP’s smallest choices, such as his favorite blue color, love for trains, cats, monkeys, and even his birth number, seemed as signal for her.
This book chronicles her breakdown exactly as it was experienced, without romanticizing love and the challenges of mental health. Everything she felt, transforming into a butterfly, imagining herself inside the Bigg Boss house, giving auditions, or even perceiving herself as God and Robot, was completely real in her experiences. During this difficult phase, her brother stood by her side, offering vital support that helped her navigate the turmoil and ultimately emerge from psychosis.
