Prem o Hashyorash Galpo...

Rabindranath Tagore, Suchitra...

Love is a fascinating aspect of human emotions that embalms withered souls with new hope and zest for life. Yet love manifests in myriad shades ranging from caring to conjugal, physical to psychological, empowering to escorting. Often love follows good humor, and together these two human instincts trigger the highest form of hedonistic pleasures in human minds. Still, sorrows and despair bring souls together to a new spring of togetherness at times to present a contrarian realization of human love and bonding. This seeming dichotomy illustrates the complexities of human motivation as a driving force in the human endeavor to live and let live.  
This treatise accounts for the second volume of such fascinating and confounding attributes over a roller-coaster ride of 16 audio stories that will enthrall your human senses in a journey of close to 8 hours uninterrupted. Tune in to this editor's collection and set out on a voyage of rediscovering your humane disposition.
