Ep 1 - Introduction and Mahishashur

This week on Maybe Stories I Shouldn’t Tell, we feature a beautifully layered short story by bestselling author Arnab Ray, aka Greatbong. Set during Durga Puja, Mahishashur is a tale about memory, identity, and a spoiler I shouldn't tell. It’s nostalgic, unsettling, and quietly devastating in the best way possible. Tune in for a story that lingers — and a reflection on why the truths we bury often say the most about who we are.
