ঘনাদার দুনিয়া

Author: Premendra Mitra
Producer: Ghanada Club

Synopsis: The very first residents of the famous mess-bari (boarding house) at 72 Bonomali Naskar Lane were four men – Shibu, Gour, Sudhir, and Shishir. One day, Ghanada came looking for a place to live in, just for two days, and occupied in the garret on the third floor. Within a few moments of his arrival, Ghanada remarked – “I have been waiting for the Jerboa marked response.” And that single line spiked up the collective curiosity of the four residents of the mess. With the story about Jerboa, a specific kind of rat found only in the deserts of Sahara, and with adventure tales from the forest reserves of Uganda, Ghanada mesmerized them. Navigating through the troubles of a Tycoon Tanner’s remarkable African safari was supposedly the source of happiness for this arid-looking, tall, thin man standing in from of them.

He smoked but did not carry any cigarettes on him. So, he nonchalantly started taking cigarettes from Shishir’s box. Though, he did say he was merely borrowing it and one day he would return each and every cigarette. When he spoke about the deep jungles of Africa, while puffing on those cigarettes, it revealed his grip of knowledge on history, geography, and biology, the sharpness of his presence of mind, and his sense of composure in face of any danger to win the challenge. Needless to say, in no time all, the four residents had come under his spell.

Ghanada had arrived to live in the 72 no. house in Kolkata, to wait for a response over a certain Jerboa marked advertisement to appear in London Times. Once it appeared, he would again embark on a new adventure, to solve another one of the world’s mysteries. The rest is history.
