Syed Mustafa Siraj’s novel deals with the psychology of artists. What drives an artiste to stick to an art
form all his life? Is it money, fame, success or affluence? The novel says that none of these, it is maya or
the illusion involved in creativity which drags the artist towards the creation.
Music holds the key in the film Maya Mridanga. The film revolves around folk artistes of Birbhum and
Murshidabad. Driven by illusion, an artiste loses interest in his family. He is misinterpreted by society;
