Brihacchanchu by Satyajit Ray [Hardcover]

"Not everyone has the capacity to be amazed in the same way, but many express doubt about whether Tulsi Baba possesses it at all. In search of herbal medicine, he first learns about the Chakraparn plant from Dhumai Baba. It is not a tree, but a weed. Dhumai Baba has informed him where it can be found. To get it, he goes into the forest with Pradyot Baba. He finds the weed, along with a strange egg shown by Pradyot Baba.

The egg has a chocolate coating on a yellow base, with splashes of blue scattered across it. Tulsi Baba is not even interested in that.

Eventually, the egg hatches, and a chick emerges. It is an oddly large-beaked bird, about the size of a chicken. As the chick follows Tulsi Baba, he decides to keep it in his bag, naming it Brihachanchu due to its huge beak.

However, this bird is not an ordinary bird. Its size keeps increasing, and gradually, a fierce look appears in its eyes. Within a few days, the situation takes a turn. But this is Tulsi Baba's pet bird. Has it really not been tamed? What will Tulsi Baba do in the end?"
