"A steady downpour lined the margins of the open sky. Grey clouds reared their heads out into the open. It had been raining for close to fifteen days by then; a long, tireless stream of liquid memory: constant and continuous. It had been two long days since Khudiram Bhattacharya's house saw the fair face of food. Khudiram wasn't a regular earner. He was a family man, but nothing much remained for his family.

This is one of his stories, originally written in Bengali, translated in English by Utsa Bose.
