'Chithibazi' is a heartwarming short story from Rajshekhar Basu alias Parashuram or Parashurama or Parshuram that chronicles the developing fondness between a prospective bride and groom over the exchange of letters. The assimilation of the plot comes with the appreciation of the social context from an era when Indian women were beginning to express and talk about their personal choice and desire with newfound confidence, triggered by exposure to western education and the gender-equal orientation starting around the early twentieth century.
The icing on the cake is the trademark narrative style involving wit and dry humor of the illustrious author in depicting that transformative social era through the prism of thoroughly practical fun and banter. Relive a bygone era that bore the future seeds of today's spirit of women's emancipation and empowerment with a broad smile on your lips.
