Reading a book is something that does not go well with many. But humour will go with most of us for sure. It’s a welcome when it comes from books and is a sure hit to bag it on a holiday or a trip. Such are the stories from Shibram Chakraborty- a free-spirited man who ran away from home, participated in freedom movement and was jailed even as a teenager. He has not finished his school and has lived alone in a boarding house in the city of Calcutta. This author is one of sorts. He writes for children and adults. He lives a life most of us can only dream of. With his trademark talent of blending humour and wordplay that has gone down extremely well with his most memorable characters of Harshbardhan and Gobardhan. This is an endearing brother duo from Assam who are reckless explorers and go getters. They are adventure-buffs and occasionally philosophical. The story is about all the mistakes they make, the misunderstandings they create and put themselves in absurd situations and traps that are narrated in a fun way by Mr. Chakraborty. For the first time in its appearance in the English translation by one of India’s foremost translators Arunava Sinha, these 20 hilarious stories are a sure shot way to merriment and leisure. Author: Shibram Chakraborty Price: Rs.250 Available in all leading bookstores in Mumbai.
