Chokher Bali, literally Sand of the Eye, a Bengali novel written by Rabindranath Tagore in Malayalam translated by Sunil Naliyath. Binodini is a convent educated young widow left to her own devices when her husband dies soon after they are married. As was the custom in those times in British India, she returns to her village and lives there for a couple of months until she accepts the invitation of Rajlakshmi to live with her and her son, Mahendra in Calcutta. Mahendra, who had rejected a former marriage proposal with Binodini, is newly married to Ashalata, a naive, gentle girl. But he soon begins to feel a strong attraction for Binodini. The story details the relationships of these three and Mahendra's best friend Bihari as they deal with issues like distrust, adultery, lies, and problems between them.
