Diku : MyStoryGenie Bengali Audiobook Album 27: The Tender Heart

It is a story of a naughty innocent childhood of a village kid - Diku, brought up by his mother – a young widow, under extreme poverty and hardship. The child shows promise in mathematics, and the village school headmaster pays special care in fostering the talent, ignoring all complaints of innocent pranks that the child indulges. Diku also looks after the teacher like his father, and somewhere it consoles his tender heart that cries from losing his father at a very premature age. Diku confides to his mother about his love and respect for his headmaster, although he cares very little about the rest of the teachers at school who regularly punish him for being naughty.

The headmaster never punishes Diku and occasionally tries correcting him of his various mischiefs with firm politeness. But for once, the headmaster’s patience weathered thin as it became necessary to discipline Diku on the face of an ugly fallout arising out of an innocent childish prank in the middle of a prayer assembly.

What was the consequence of this fall from grace??

Tune in to this soulfully haunting audio story based on a short story work of Author Tilottama Majumdar, who is respected as among the most prolific and reputed women writers in contemporary Bengali literature from the MyStoryGenie Bengali Audiobooks series.
