Novels:
Waltz in Happiness
Waltz in Happiness (2011), the debut novel by Nilakshi Borgohain, tells the story of Pranjal, a man torn between personal principles and professional ambition, navigating evolving relationships and cultural landscapes.
The novel stands out as a literary bridge between mainstream Indian fiction and the lesser-recognised region of Assam. Its narrative style—free from flashy cosmopolitanisms and literary excess—has been celebrated as refreshingly sincere and culturally illuminating
Praised for its evocative language, simplicity, and absence of overt ideological weight; it focuses instead on humane truths and universal values.

In Life’s Beautiful Days, Nilakshi invites us to rediscover the quiet grandeur of existence. This book is a rare testament of the enduring grace of the ordinary.
Life’s Beautiful days is not merely a narrative, but a meditation on time, memory, love and the impermanence of all things.
Nilakshi Borgohain writes with the grace of a poet and the precision of a chronicler of the soul. Her pages sing of life quietly lived and and deeply felt, where beauty is neither forced nor forgotten but found over and over again in the folds of the everyday.
Life’s Beautiful Days neither flinches from pain nor romanticises joy. This is a novel of integrity, heart and rare emotional intelligence.
Nilakshi Borgohain composes with the patience of a craftsperson and the soul of a seer.
This is a book to be savoured because it is true. And truth, when rendered with such care, deserves our time.
