Laxmi is working at the urban nuclear family household of Sujit and Mitu as their domestic help. Living in a city and managing errands within challenging deadlines keep modern nuclear families on their toes; in that context, our friendly neighborhood domestic helps (endearingly referred to as the bai) often assume the position of Man-Fridays for the urban settlers. Keeping the helper in good humor often becomes a matter of life and death and, our urban households subscribe to this legend in all seriousness to survive.

Tune in to this tongue-in-cheek and somewhat hideously funny urban reality from the master storyteller and a legend in her rights – Bani Basu in this “My StoryGenie” Bengali audiobooks presentation.
