A frantic morning. A superstitious mind. And a plate of fish and rice that was never meant for him.
Fish n Rice follows Bipin Bihari Choudharee, a ritual-loving, fish-obsessed Bengali gentleman whose perfectly predictable life unravels on a day when everything seems cosmically misaligned. After a series of absurd mishaps at the bustling Maniktala fish market, a mysterious sage convinces the increasingly anxious Bipin that his misfortune is the result of divine displeasure.
What follows is a desperate attempt to appease the Goddess… and a discovery that reveals just how easily faith, fear, and human gullibility can be cooked together into the perfect meal.
Listen to the audio version of this humorous Kolkata tale filled with superstition, chaos, and the unmistakable aroma of fish and rice, on YouTube.
