An upper-middle-class urban household is hosting a get-together among close friends over fine dining. The attendees are representatives of the upwardly mobile, educated class who brag about their general intelligence and bask in their self-belief that they understand anything under the sky ranging from the "Perestroika" to the "Swarovski" with equal elan. The freewheeling discussions during the party oscillate between the macabre of the agrarian distress, to the mellow of fine living, in the same breath. The attendees' empathetic interjections and sarcastic finger pointing at perceived systemic faults intermittently resonate with enthusiastic hoorah over raised toasts and mouth-watering gourmet delights.
Does this collective empathy of the full-bellied intelligentsia find convergence towards some solution to help uplift the have-nots?? Or, does the material comfort of the haves prove to impede channeling their thoughts in a meaningful way beyond their sophisticated eloquence??
Tune in to this stinging jewel on the contemporary well-healed urban milieu from one of the most revered litterateur and foremost names in social fictions - celebrated Suchitra Bhattacharya in yet another classic composition from "My StoryGenie" Bengali Audiobooks series.
