    I think Satyajit Ray wrote these(short stories) in Bengali.
    Later they were translated to English by Gopa Majumdar.
    I have read almost his short stories collection which I think are a must read for everyone – “Indigo” and “Strangers”.

    Saw the movie yesterday…. The classic case of how the story is better than the movie!
