  Suku was very good in academics and had a curious mind that prompted him to explore unknowns with enthusiasm. Once, he got attracted to his fathers' beaming Parker pen that he found in his father's desk drawer and became tempted to take it to his school to impress his friends. That very day, he also carried a live beetle to school, encased in a box to try studying its behavior through the day and perhaps to catch few bits of advice about the insect from his biology teacher - Father Dyson. But things went out of control as his classmate – Mary Alva, became curious to know about both these curious collections. 
  The insect broke loose and created panic among the kids before jetting out of the window. The resultant commotion also threw the valuable pen somewhere under the desks, and Suku was bitter and anxious about losing both his valuables. That evening, Sukus' father came to enquire about his writing-pen, but a scared Suku could not admit the truth, and to the contrary, he tried pushing the blame onto his brother Ruku. Ruku, who was innocent and upright, became very upset. Suku became crestfallen after realizing his timidity, while Dr. Mukherjee felt sad since he expected one of his sons to admit his mistake as such accidents might have happened with anyone.  
  Did Suku manage to overcome his fear psychosis in admitting the truth, and what lessons did the two kids learn in the bargain?? 
  Tune in to this all-time classic children's literature from the legendary Sanjib Chattopadhyay in yet another classic collection from the "MyStoryGenie" Bengali Audiobooks series.

  The Best of Benedict Kiely is a treasure trove of his best and most acclaimed stories, published to mark the centenary of the birth of this great twentieth-century Irish writer. Many of these stories were originally published in The New Yorker before appearing in four collections over a 24-year period during the writer's lifetime. They are quintessential Kiely; superbly crafted, mingling song, anecdote, myth, history and a powerful sense of place into an allusive storyline. They show Kiely's supreme gift in recording the feeling of lived life, pulsing with joys, disappointments and the accidental and deliberate digressions along the way.
  Colum McCann has observed in Kiely's work that '… there is really no such thing as an end, because the stories keep unfolding and influencing' and these classic Kiely stories, published together for the first time, will linger with the reader, young or old, long after the final sentence.

  Life brings along with it many stories…waiting to be heard…waiting to be read. And I too have heard many real life incidents from friends, family and others. Incidents which then would linger in my mind, far too long, and take paths, far too adventurous. It was not long before I started to jolt down these stories and narrate them into an audiobook, to turn real life episodes into fiction. The whole process of masking as another character, letting loose the creative possibilities, working with music was an unforgettable learning experience.   There is always something to learn from others. Real In Reel is all about reflections from the strange, small or big experiences of many in the most delightful manner.These stories have also had a great impact on my outlook in life. Occasionally I would find looking at my stories from a different point of view, so as to add more details and flavor to the situations and characters and, overtime I internalized these habits to my circumstances. It was not my will, but of those stories that have made themselves heard through me and led me to create this audiobook. I thank the many inspirations for this book and my father the most. ----- Shreyans Ranjalkar

  John Galsworthy was born in Kingston Upon Thames in Surrey, on August 14th 1867.  The family was wealthy and well established.  John was schooled at Harrow and New College, Oxford before training as a barrister. But law was not for him. 
  Galsworthy first published in 1897 with a collection of short stories entitled “The Four Winds”.  Initially he published as 'John Sinjohn' but after the death of his father in 1904 he published as John Galsworthy. 
  Much of his early work was as Plays for which he dealt with social issues and the class system. From there it was but a short step to the works for which he won the Nobel Prize and for which he is so well remembered; The Forsythe Sage trilogy. 
  Although sympathetic to his characters, he reveals their insular, snobbish, and somewhat greedy attitudes and suffocating moral codes. In his writings he campaigns for prison reform, women's rights, animal welfare, and the opposition of censorship as well as a recurring theme of an unhappy marriage from the women’s side. 
  John Galsworthy died from a brain tumour at his London home, Grove Lodge, Hampstead on January 31st 1933. In accordance with his will he was cremated at Woking with his ashes then being scattered over the South Downs from an aeroplane.

  Written by Mary Shelley (1797-1851), Frankenstein is the best-selling horror classic about an experiment that goes horribly wrong, and a monster who swears revenge on his creator. Swiss student Victor Frankenstein uncovers the secret to bringing life to what is lifeless, and in assembling body parts to create a monster, ultimately sets the stage for his own destruction and that of everything he loves when the monster is rejected by society. Penned as part of a competition between Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori to see who could write the best horror story, Frankenstein is resonant with themes of love, friendship, hubris, and fear. It presents the epic battle between man and monster, showing that man is not always capable of controlling that which he creates.
