Thattya : MyStoryGenie Bengali Audiobook Album 44: The Impractical Joke

Written by Suchitra Bhattacharya

Narrated by Nilanjana Dutta, Rajati Mukhopadhyay, Nandini Sarkar and Suryadip Mukhopadhyay

Monica is the affluent housewife of a successful thoracic surgeon. This status has been in stark contrast to her growing up days in a lower-middle-class family of limited means. Monica is proud and happy about outgrowing her past, and she derives sadistic pleasure in looking down upon people who struggle with limited means with a sense of pity and coy. 

One day Monica accidentally met one of her old schoolmates – Sima, whose family hailed from a similar lower-middle-class background. Although financially poor, Sima was very bright in her studies, and she was justly the favorite among the teachers at school. Monica, in contrast, was very average, and often she used to be at the wrong end of the stick as teachers used to rebuke her while reasoning with her to follow Sima as the role model. Monica hated Sima for this and hoped to settle her grievances at some opportune moment in the foreseeable future.

The accidental meeting delighted Monica as she could sense that Sima struggles financially in contrast to her economic comfort. Monica felt the bliss to figure out how wrong were those teachers who wrongly postulated about the correlation between riches and academic achievements. To cherish the occasion further at the misery of Sima, Monica decided to invite Sima to her world of plenty and rub salt to Sima’s injury. Tune in to this brilliant commentary – a “My StoryGenie” Bengali audio-books presentation based on yet another masterpiece from Suchitra Bhattacharya on human prejudices that guides vindictive minds to go down to any lengths to belittle fellow companions.
