In some families, higher education degrees remain as rolled-up papers in drawers and cupboards, never touching life when exposed. After spending eight years in the house of a wealthy, respectable and highly-educated in-laws, Sri, whose formal name was Sriparna, had studied in a college like Presidency and had a private lover, Suman, who was a private lover of Hazarduari Kholamon. When that Suman, a hidden memory in a letter box, almost uprooted her husband from Kolkata and dragged Sri to Odisha, saying that she would settle down in solitude and have her own family. Who knew that like marriage with Gopen, this was also a new contract of destiny? Life is probably like this. Like a story, full of unexpected surprises. Some people only tell that story. 'Hazarduari' is of a different flavor. The story's surprising twists and turns subtly blend the times and society, and the analysis of a couple's relationship reveals significant problems of many other men and women.
