Buddhadeb Guhar Choto Galpa 3 by Buddhadeb Guha [Hardcover]

"Buddhadeb Guha's Short Stories" – this phrase itself seems to be an irresistible magnet. Such an enchanting allure that it will tempt readers of all ages. The reason is, Buddhadeb Guha never thinks of short stories as writing where the element of storytelling is absent. He knows, and has acknowledged in writing, that no story or novel is merely about specific men and women. The characters in the stories are representatives of many others. Through their voices, their actions, the honest writer wants to tell not just their stories but also the stories of many others. Stories about different eras, generations, and the context of time and society. Buddhadeb Guha is also aware that various incidents occur in people's lives every day and fade away like shoreline footprints. Literature turns these incidents into eternal joy, sorrow, or profound experiences. He skillfully integrates his beliefs and notions into his writing. And thus, each of his stories and novels becomes multifaceted and significant in some way.

This compilation consists of a collection of such recent stories. The book contains more than two dozen stories of various lengths, tastes, and emotions. Even the hugely popular humorous stories like "Bondeda" or "Ghosaghar (Pvt.) Limited" are included. Be it a humorous story, a romantic tale, or a vivid depiction of moments of life's joys, sorrows, experiences, and realizations, the overarching purpose of Buddhadeb Guha's stories is never unclear. He has had the opportunity to closely observe high society, and he knows the middle class from within. Thus, the emptiness and inconsistencies of both societies, the blind attempts to join the rat race of modern urban civilization, artificial pretensions, cracks in relationships, changes in values, the conflict between face and mask, all these aspects frequently appear in his stories. As a truly conscious writer, he wants to caution about these aspects. He does so by wrapping his messages in various formats.
