Author Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay wrote the Bengali Short Story book Pui Macha.
Pui Macha is one of the best short stories of nature lover Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay’s nearly 200 stories. This book was first published in Prabasi Patrika in the month of Magh 1331 BS. It goes without saying that there is nothing new in the content of the story. The book is based on the story of Khenti’s death. The main character of this story is Khenti.
She was married to the son of Srimanta Majumdar. When everything in the marriage was almost ripe and blessed, Kshenti’s father Sahayhari suddenly realized that the character of young was not good. Naturally, therefore, he rejected this relationship. The socialite of that time decided to keep them in one room as they did not marry the blessed girl.
In this way their family continues. In Poush Sankranti, mother of Khenti, Annapurna makes the cake. Khenti was helping her mother to make it on her back. He was accompanied by his two sisters Putti and Radhi. A few days before that, Khenti had brought Pui Data from anywhere. His mother was very angry about this and angryword told Khenti a lot. Then, a few days later, Khenti suddenly got married. Their family continues like this somehow.
The author Bibhutibhushan was a nature lover.
The naming of the story Pui Macha is very significant. Naming is usually done by naming the main character as the subject or subject matter. Pui Macha has been given in the case of this story. The author Bibhutibhushan was a nature lover. As such, perhaps the main character or heroine wants to compare the life of the character with the life of Pui Data. But the question remains, if so, why didn’t the story get named Pui Data? Why Pui Macha was given?. There is a lot of discussion and criticism about this.
Moreover, we notice different reflections in the Pui Macha story of Bibhutibhushan. Here we see the topic of Chandimandap, the food habits of human life, folk beliefs, folk songs. The story begins with the topic of date juice. Which is basically an example of folk drinking.

We know that Khenti was married a few days ago, but this time Khenti died suddenly less than a year later. In this book, the author reflects on the way of life of the rural society of Bengal at that time. This story also depicts the wonders of nature. The central character of the story, Khenti, is built in the style of nature. His nature is as open, independent and simple as nature.
Sometimes loyal and sometimes disobedient. Returning to the midst of his nature after death, and then the existence of his whole form, became the pomegranate tree planted in his hand, which was then full of beauty. In this strange symbolic consonant, the writer wants to understand or feel through the contradiction – there is Khenti, he is not dead, he exists all over the world with his own nature and elegance.
The author seems to have given him a lot of meaning by associating him with the pomegranate. This is where the great features of Bibhutibhushan’s romantic mind come into play.
In the whole story, the author has beautifully portrayed the name of trees, herbs and nature. Apart from the main characters like Kalimoy Tagore, Sahayhari, Annapurna, Khenti, there are some other minor characters mentioned in the story. Such as Khenti’s two sisters Putti and Radhi, Khenti’s groom and mother-in-law, Kest Mukherjee, Kumbhakar’s bride, Mukhuje’s little girl Durga, Srimanta Majumdar, Jethaima etc. The nature of the author’s thoughts reflected in the story.
Expert Comments on the Role of Nature in the Story and novels of Bibhutibhushan have found a wide and prominent role in nature in his story literature. There is not that uniqueness of nature, the main role is human. Annapurna has to be mentioned as a character after such an end. She is the bride of a low-income family. The burning of humiliation with poverty has become his constant companion.
She is most indifferent to the indifference of her husband Sahayhari. Khenti’s daughter’s marriage was broken once but she is not conscious. There is no consciousness in the words of the five people of the village. After that anger of her husband and daughter who is fond of food is on Khenti. But those are not the words of his mind. All in all, there is no doubt that readers will enjoy reading the story.
In the end, more can be said, judging by the class or clan of the story, it has to be called a socially problematic story. It is true that there is a reflection of nature consciousness in this story, but it is the social consciousness that seems to have driven the writer more while writing the story. The plot of the story has no complexity, no novelty, but the skill of narration draws the reader to the end.
Although this story does not seem to be a short story in any way. Sukumar Sen was right when he said that the shadow of Pather Panchali novel is in it. There is a sense of mastery in the structure of the story. Above all, the author’s death consciousness has also cast a shadow here, centering on Khenti’s death.
This is the real secret of the strength and ability of the art body in the story of Bibhutibhushan. Whether his successful stories carry the great identity or mystery of life with their beauty, their reality seems to be fully expected of the reader in the dialogue environment of the characters. As if those stories are soaked in the digestive juices of the writer’s experience, this is the uniqueness of Bibhutibhushan.
