 Misra's early works, published in various little magazines, instantly attracted the attention of readers and critics alike due to their sheer experimental forms and controversial subjects.One of his early short stories ""Haaraan Maajhi-r Bidhabaa Bou-er Maraa baa Sonaa-r Gandhimurti"" (The Corpse of Haaraan Maajhi's Widow or the Golden Statue of Gandhi), met with huge critical applause in its first appearance.After the publication of this story, Kamal Kumar Majumdar and Amiya Bhushan Majumdar, two stalwarts of alternative Bengali literature, congratulated and encouraged him to continue writing.
