Where the last volume stopped, this one started with the same fervor. Starting from the family life of the common Bengali household to the social life, the satire is complete with revelations that deeply stirs the intellect but never becomes boring due to the spontaneity of the episodes. Though a bit more serious than its predecessor the writing remains as lively as always. The collection culminates with a very optimistic note that also speaks the undiminished hope that the intellectual holds for the Bengali. That the projected life of the common man which appears with its apparent ill and gore there still remains hidden the pure and the beautiful has been cleverly directed by the author. Though malice is not left out but the criticisms are always healthy as they indicate the path of the righteous and it remains upon the society to make the choice.
