This is Akshai

1000 listeners.

And honestly… this podcast exists because I’m obsessed with the charisma of Byomkesh Bakshi.

The way he speaks.
The calm intelligence.
The atmosphere of those stories.
The silence between the dialogues.
The mystery that slowly crawls under your skin.

That obsession made me spend hours performing every character, building the sound design, creating the ambience, and trying to bring Byomkesh Bakshi to life as cinematically as possible.

I didn’t want this to feel like someone reading a story.

I wanted it to feel like you were standing in those dark Kolkata streets yourself.

A huge thank you to Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay, the brilliant creator of Byomkesh Bakshi, for writing stories that continue to inspire generations of storytellers and listeners even today.

And to the 1000 people who listened.
Thank you for stepping into this world with me.

If you haven’t heard it yet,
wait till night,
put your headphones on,
turn the lights off…

and enter the world of Byomkesh Bakshi.
