Mahendra, Behari, Ashalata and Binodini

Told in poetry and the finest of expression, Chocker Bali is a timeless tales on human anthropology. I happened to watch it today and it was beautiful (even though I only watched half of it).

It speaks of tendrils of human behavior, desires and how we swim through the reeds of society. I can't possibly do enough justice for this movie and the novel by Nobel prize winning Tagore (reading it is a new birthday wish). The four main characters represent the essence of living affluently though Mahendra is a personal favourite along with Binodini.

If you are a thinker, go for it.
The portrayal and authenticity would intoxicate, inflame and inspire you.
