হর্ষবর্ধনের কলকাতা জয় | Harshvardhaner Kolkata Joy | Shibram Chakraborty

The book “Harshabardhaner Kolkata Joy” (The Conquest of Kolkata by Harshabardhan) contains 25 independent stories featuring the beloved comic duo Harshabardhan and Gobardhan, created by Shibram Chakraborty.
Unlike the earlier collection “Kolkatai Elen Harshabardhan,” which was more continuous and introductory, this book presents self-contained stories where the characters are already well established. Interestingly, Shibram himself appears as a character in several tales, adding a fresh narrative layer and witty exchanges with his own creations.
Most stories are set in Kolkata, reflecting the city’s charm and eccentricities, though a few venture beyond. The humor arises not from complex plots but from witty dialogues, clever wordplay, and Shibram’s signature satirical style.
Both brothers appear in every story—Harshabardhan being the lead and Gobardhan his loyal follower. Some stories even center on Gobardhan himself. The titles, often humorous and expressive, show Shibram’s creativity—like “Harshabardhaner Kabya-Charcha” (Poetic Pursuits), “Harshabardhan Chande Gelen” (Went to the Moon), or “Dokane Gelen Harshabardhan” (Harshabardhan Went Shopping).
