Manik Bandyopadhyay (May 29, 1908 – December 3, 1956) marked a special place for himself in Bengali literature. His stories brought a psychological insight into human characters in Bengali fiction otherwise dominated by romantic and social themes. We have recorded for this month one of his masterpieces, Atashimami which represents his inclinations. Atashi was not just attached to her husband, she loved his music, his flute and she mastered his skill herself.
