Book Review - 

Biswajit Banerji's debut, Happimess, is a wild rollercoaster ride through the hilarious labyrinth of everyday life. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to delve headfirst into a pool of absurdity, this collection of naughty stories is your golden ticket.

The author's satirical prowess shines through as he tells tales of ordinary folks who are expertly tangled in their daily debacles. Picture this: a conspiracy suicide of a home appliance, outlandish diseases that turned people into improbable, nosy insurance agents with an uncanny ability to sniff out embarrassing secrets, diehard hagglers who could argue the price of a pack of gum down to a single ant's toenail, and many more.

The brilliance of this book lies in its ability to turn even the most mundane situations into comedic goldmines. Have you ever heard a speech that made the farewell ban in the city? You'll find solace in the misadventures of the characters. And yes, this pandemonium has much more, including tales of inflicting insults and neighbors with more behavioral issues than an Alsatian.

Each story is a unique and uproarious commentary on our peculiar world, but the constant undercurrent of funny disorderliness ties it together. Biswajit Banerji masterfully navigates the minefield of social awkwardness and everyday lunacy, leaving you clutching your sides with laughter.

Reading this book feels like sipping on a fizzy concoction of wit and whimsy, and it's clear that the author has a knack for turning the ordinary into the absurd. His writing is a refreshing antidote to the humdrum of reality and a reminder that life, no matter how tangled it may get, is best viewed through humor. 

So, if you are ready to embrace the joy of the utterly bizarre and laugh your way through an entertaining whirlwind of "seriously flippant and irreverent" satire, this book is for you. I recommend it.
