Have you ever wondered how to tackle an hour long monotonous bus journey
during a rainy season? If you have, then take hold of a Ray book and all the boredom
in the world would vanish. Infact be it a boring time or a soothing holiday
afternoon a Ray in hand is always a treasure to cherish. It freshens the mood
while stirring the intellect.
Published posthumously the collection contains some of the memorable
classics penned by Ray including a Feluda thriller but remians unique in the
sense that this is the only collection of dozen stories that contain Tarineekhuro’s
adventures and that too four brand new ones.
- Natun Bandhu
- Shishu Sahityik
- Nitaibabur Mainah
- Rantur Dadu
- Dui Bandhu
- Akshaybabur Shiksha
- Prasanna Sir
- Juti
- Maharaja Tarineekhuro
- Tarineekhuro o Oindrojalik
- Norris Saheber Bunglow
- Dr. Munsheer Diary
Though some of the stories contain plots akin to
his earlier works still they are enjoyable just for sheer creativity. A few printing
mistake and a slight but obvious error, which in all my previous readings remained
undetected, seemed to be the only disappointments in store. The added appeal is
Ray’s sketches and the Ray Jr’s cover design. Gifted by my father within months
of its publication this easily finds its place among one of my all time favourites.
