ডাকিনীবিদ্যা কি শুধুই ক্ষতিকারক, নাকি এর পেছনে লুকিয়ে আছে অন্য কোনো প্রাচীন সত্য?

উইকা আসলে কী? সমাজ যাকে ‘ডাইনি’ বলে দাগিয়ে দেয়, তার শিকড় কোথায় প্রোথিত? প্রকৃতির আদিম শক্তি, লোক-সংস্কার নাকি মানুষের মনের অবচেতনের ভয়?

দ্য পেনপ্রিন্টস পডকাস্টের দ্বিতীয় পর্বে এক গা-ছমছমে অথচ গভীর তাত্ত্বিক আড্ডায় মুখোমুখি সুপ্রিয় চক্রবর্তী এবং বিশিষ্ট লেখক রাজর্ষি পত্রনবিশ।

🎙️ চোখ রাখুন পুরো পর্বে—অন্ধকারের অজানা রূপ উন্মোচিত হতে চলেছে খুব শীঘ্রই!

Dense Clouds is a poignant tapestry of human lives, woven from moments of longing, love, guilt, loss, and quiet redemption. Gul Bahar Singh looks closely at the ordinary and discovers within it the extraordinary—the wounds we carry, the choices that haunt us, and the fragile acts of kindness that restore our faith in humanity. These stories move through the shadows of everyday existence, where darkness is never absolute and even the heaviest clouds hold the possibility of light.

Gul Bahar Singh is a film maker, he has won six National Awards and two International Awards for his films, including a Gold Medal. He has worked with many prominent Bollywood artists, such as Om Puri, Irrfan Khan, Amrish Puri, Hema Malini, and Vinod Khanna, A.K Hangal, Sulabha Deshpandey among others. Throughout his career, he has made approximately sixty films—ranging from short features to full-length movies—including films in Hindi, Bengali, and English. Several of his films have been screened at international film festivals, and he has also served as a selector at various film festivals. Dense Clouds is his first collection of short stories. There are twenty stories in this book which deal with the multifaceted nature of our modern digital society.
