Luptajibika Luptakatha by Kinnar Ray [Hardcover]

"Perhaps not all livelihoods were joyous or honorable. But they existed. And there were many small things that once surrounded our daily lives. Before we even realized they might disappear – they vanished! With the changing social fabric and the ruthless corporate world, a whole era went along with them. This book by Kinnar Roy brings together the memories of many such lost entities like pond divers, traditional washermen, catchers, pitchers, compounders, wet nurses, or the days of postcards, ink pens, mustard sauce, Brahmachurna, the fourteen leafy vegetables, or the nostalgic cooling Fatikjol. These books published by Pratikshan were once widely discussed and are now out of print."
