Manoj Das, being a Indian Writer, given a picture of Indian personalities. The story “The Sage of Tarungiri and Seven Old Seekers” deals with seven friends own lives and their problems.

                                Story starts with “Merry Guys” overlooking the green valleys, violent gusts of breeze which flushed and tingled the wizened faces of the seven old club men, swelled their coats and brushed their untidy mustaches.

                                       There are seven seeks, friends whose names are Mr.Jekyll, Lall , Mr.Khanna, Tapan , Mishra, Medhananada and Tapan baba with other gentle men. Now, Story starts with the problems and sadness with retired judge who become a poet later on and always joins metaphysical issues of the current physical facts.Then it goes with Khanna and Tapan and Lall joins to where they fell that they all are very sad and helpless from their early life or childhood.

                        Now, that all got interest to meet and talk with Tapan Baba when they met he was weeping and sobbing and the sobbing seven sprang up to their feet. After Twelve years, Baba smiled, which because remarkable and raise to, so all seven seekers demanded again to come out from the cave and smile once again but he did not come out and at last Medhananada clarified the business policy and revealed that truth either to smile or to cry is not an entire (Baba) business nothing else, at the last all friends understand the fact which is hidden and their attraction gone as they started to go away.
