General note 'Musk and the other Stories' is a collection of short stories depicting the life of public in Assam. Translated from Assamese, it shares both the beautiful and bestial sides of Assam—how political turmoil badly affects the life of an individual as well as public located at the vicinity of its green field and elegant rivers and high mountain ranges. The writing style of the story evolves itself from the good to the bad into the worse, leaving a hardcore questions and emotions behind.<br/>The book begins with 'Two Days of Phantom’s Diary' which revolves around the consequences faced by the common public because of the ongoing tussle between the army and the extremists.<br/><br/>'Goddess' shares a poignant tale about a ‘mortal woman’ being tortured and abused for gulping the offerings of the ‘goddess Kali’ depicting the sheer hypocrisy and show off done in the name of religion as well as disrespect shown to the poor people in the society.<br/>Being beaten up and kicked around, she would scream most piteously, ‘My belly is burning with hunger’. The stout ragged her out like a rope.<br/>Mriganabhi: The Musk is a critically acclaimed story of Arupa Patangia Kalita, revolves around Sontara whose life completely changes after the demise of her husband. The emotional struggle that single mothers face have been clearly shown in the story. As one should never lose hope, how Sontara eventually came over her mental turmoil is a worth read.<br/><br/>Overall, it makes itself a best collection in which each story share different shades of individual struggle. The strong and realistic narratives will provoke its readers to personify themselves with each and every character they will encounter.
