The stories offer a unique peek into rural and cultural landscapes of Bankura district, Purulia, Bengal, presenting a glimpse into the life of ordinary people in varying socio-cultural settings.


 


The tales reflect the mind and mood of the land by probing themes and everyday affairs even while providing a peep into the charm of the natural landscape. They explore the concerns, hopes and expectations of common people with an uncommon lust for life. The narratives unfold some unforgettable characters like old, bed-ridden Panchanan Karmakar, papad-seller Bhootnath Chowki, Satu's mother and Sakhina who negotiate their daily matters in different ways.
