About The Book

This collection of 11 stories written in the 1930s captures the spectrum of human emotions—jealousy, love, hatred, faith, humor, happiness, sorrow, greed, contentment, and contempt. Each story in this collection delves into different facets of the human experience.

• The first story, Suwas, begins with friendship, turns to jealousy, and concludes with the power of faith. The title, which means "fragrance," symbolizes the enduring quality of faith.

• Taicha Photoreveals emphasizes the richness of the human mind over material wealth, while Rajkavi highlights the distinctions between God, nature, and man.

• Khadkatal Pani shows how even those considered downtrodden can possess a softer and more compassionate heart than the so-called sophisticated.

• Pahili Chuk punishes the protagonist in a stark and dreadful way for his mistake, while Aramkhurchi explores the rudeness that comes with wealth.

• Don Gulam tells the story of a couple both enslaved by their habits, while the final story, Swapne, reveals the strength of love between a newly married couple who realize that no matter how poisonous the world may seem, their love for each other is their true nectar.
