Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right in modern life—the career, the apartment, the gym—yet you’re still profoundly, desperately alone?

Meet Bhaskar Bose. At 29, he’s a man grappling with the quiet crisis of modern masculinity. His battlefield isn’t the boardroom; it’s the sterile, high-stakes arena of the dating app. Years of rejection have left him scarred, viewing his own worth through the unforgiving lens of un-matched profiles. He yearns for connection, but all he finds are fleeting moments of lust and a crushing, amplified loneliness.

The pressure from home mounts until he takes the leap: an arranged marriage to Ishita, a woman who promises tradition, peace, and an end to the endless seeking. But marriage doesn’t cure his restlessness. The ghosts of his past desires, the glittering promise of ‘more choices’, still whisper to him.

Then comes the unthinkable challenge from his wife—a path to ‘freedom’ that shatters every conventional boundary. Suddenly, Bhaskar is back in the game, navigating the wild, contradictory world of Bangalore’s modern women. He chases the illusion of choice across different lives, driven by a deep-seated need he can’t name. Is it love? Is it validation? Or is it simply a need to prove he matters?

Lust and Loyalty: A Man’s Misadventures in Modern Love by Saikat Ghosh isn’t a fairy tale; it’s a reckoning. It’s the raw, unfiltered story of what happens when a man is given the key to the cage of commitment. Will he find the true love he’s looking for in the arms of a stranger, or will he discover that the most profound and difficult act of all is the choice to be loyal to the life he already built?

This is the controversial debut that asks: What is true freedom in an age of endless options?

Crushed by professional inadequacy and the fierce pressure of societal expectations, Bhaskar is adrift in a world of dating apps where men often struggle for a single match. His journey begins in the Cage of Loneliness, where years of self-doubt and rejection lead him to desperate escapes.

Lust and Loyalty follows Bhaskar as he navigates this shocking freedom, chasing the illusion of choice through the complicated landscape of modern women—some kind, some indifferent, and some who merely use him. Will his misadventures lead him to what he truly seeks, or will he discover that true loyalty is the only path to authentic freedom?

Pandulipi Publishing™ invites you to confront the uncomfortable truth of what it means to be a man searching for love in the digital age. This is not a classic romance; it is a vital, raw exposé from a new, fearless voice.

Meet Bhaskar Bose, whose story is the beating heart of Lust and Loyalty: A Man’s Misadventures in Modern Love. He’s drowning in the quiet crisis of modern masculinity, where success is measured by career growth and dating apps promise endless options but deliver crushing isolation. For Bhaskar, every swipe is a desperate plea for connection, leaving him trapped in a ‘Cage of Loneliness.’

When the weight of expectation becomes too much, Bhaskar embraces an arranged marriage with Ishita. Yet, the peace is short-lived. His wife, sensing his restlessness, issues a challenge that shatters tradition: the freedom to seek what he truly wants.

Written by the astute observer Saikat Ghosh, this novel drags the unspoken complexities of modern Indian relationships into the light. Ghosh masterfully charts Bhaskar’s journey through the ‘Illusion of Choice’—a provocative exploration of desire, duty, and the slippery concept of loyalty. You’ll follow him through the bewildering highs and lows of dating in Bangalore, where he hunts for the elusive commitment he desperately craves.

Will Bhaskar’s misadventures lead him to find true freedom in the endless pursuit of ‘more,’ or will he finally realize that the greatest challenge lies in honoring the bond he initially resisted?

Pandulipi Publishing is proud to launch this essential and controversial debut by Saikat Ghosh. Lust and Loyalty is the book that will define the conversation around masculinity, marriage, and dating apps this year.
