Madhyabittyo : MyStoryGenie Bengali Audiobook Album 40: The Middle Class Conundrum

College lecturer Suvendu is a happy and content middle-class character who has deftly segregated his ideal self from his actual self with a liberal dose of practical considerations relating to bourgeois pursuits and comforts in life. Suvendu employs an underage poor village girl in his household as domestic help but feels contented by the sight of her growing sheen courtesy of the regular food that she receives at his house. For Suvendu, this presents a happy spectacle about his contribution towards a social cause – something that his middle-class value system and flickering conscience are so desirous of achieving.

Suvendu’s school-going daughter brought in fresh buoyancy to this feel-good as she pronounces her desire to teach elementary lessons to their domestic help as part of her school project. As a good start is half the work done, will this middle-class value system ultimately prove to be the harbinger of social change and empowerment or, will it remain a transient symbol of intellectual tokenism??

Tune in to this tongue-in-cheek social banter from the master storyteller and Author Suchitra Bhattacharya, a must-have from the MyStoryGenie Bengali Audiobooks series.
