Listened to the audiobooks আর এক দিন, অর্থহীন but couldn’t find it here.

A collection of amazing short stories each of which touches your heart and makes you think. Spun around day-to-day events and characters of middle-class Bengali families (the writer's own background), the stories capture the pains of a changing society. Her portraits of the young men and women of the time, drawn with passion but without bias, are quite captivating, I think the strength of her writing is capturing the grey areas of characters as they are without being judgemental. No wonder she was such a successful writer despite remaining restricted to the environs of a conservative middle-class family.

It is a different experience altogether, a glimpse into another social period made alive when you read in Bengali. Each and every story made me think and the satisfaction of having read them is absolute.
