Radharani - A Novel by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay

This is a famous story by Sahityasamrat Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. Most of us know the story. I read it for the first time during student life. 

Recently I saw the name of the story on Youtube as audiobook by Mirchi Bangla Youtube Channel. As we know that this story begins on the day of Rathyatra, so this year I listened to the story on the occasion of Rathyatra. It was such a nice experience that brought a smile on my face.

 The sweetness of the story, the purity of the feelings of both Rukmini Kumar and Radharani capture our heart. We feel their emotions and we feel happy when they meet at the end of the story. 

Listening the story on the Rathyatra day made it a special experience for me and enhanced my enjoyment.


With lots of love for all,

Jai Shri Krishna.

Obhinetri- a Story by Ashapurna Devi

This is a famous short story by Ashapurna Devi. 

Many years ago I read it for the first time.  Recently I listened to the audiobook of the story in the Youtube channel of 'Prithar Ichhedana'. 

It portrays the psychology of the mind of a woman. Women bind the family with her love and care. She plays many roles according to the needs of her family. This story shows us how women manage the difficult situations which keep on challenging all of us while leading family life. It takes wisdom and a loving heart to keep the wheels of the family running. This story is both amusing as well as a lesson about life. We learn to appreciate the effort given by women to nurture her family. I would request all of you to listen to the story and enjoy it.


With lots of best wishes

Jai Shri Krishna.
