• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A mysterious fortune teller on a train across a timescape helps simplify the mysteries of life. Green leopards,
flying whales, marshmallow wars & a quirky origin story of everything from gender equality to global warming.
A cynical poet & an affluent socialite spend an evening together & empty each other's hearts of all the unused
melancholy in them. An incoherent girl helps simplify the life of the most sorted boy of her class. A reluctant
purchase of a jar of peanut butter leads to a serendipitous discovery of a dead author. A fiction writer's
characters rise in revolt & refuse to obey his pen. A deserted town that has only unmanned flower stalls left in it.
Two men from different generations cling on to each other with their last grip on a vanishing bloodline. Two
hyper-competitive professionals become friends for life under the unlikeliest of circumstances. A voyeur and an
exhibitionist discover one another, each unaware of the other's version of reality. Two star-crossed lovers whose
orbits keep colliding & drifting away from each other. A man misses his regular commute & walks into an
alternate existence in a strange land. A queer old man shows up & intrudes young Kafka just as he is about to
propose to his girlfriend. A man falls back in love with his wife the day after their divorce. An age ends &
another begins when three destinies come together during a brief intermission for one violent collision before
disintegrating forever, taking all the music with them.
These are only a few of the routes by which Ayon Banerjee takes you on a roller-coaster ride of plots that cut
through genres & weaves together an unputdownable collection of stories which seamlessly drift from the
classical to modern style of telling short stories that narrate missed journeys & accidental destinations, archived
conversations & clandestine confessions, love & loss, destiny & time.

Autorenporträt

Ayon Banerjee, an Asia Pacific Leader for a Fortune 100 Organization is a keen observer of human behavior & someone who loves documenting his life and work as he goes along by collecting & connecting ideas. Over the years, Ayon's articles have garnered a steady and diverse readership from around the world. This book is the third instalment of heterogeneous articles & blog entries, particularly written by him as the world was slowly recovering from the Covid 19 nightmare. Like most bloggers, Ayon's inspirations are scattered from his own life to the lives of people he observes, the books he reads and the dots he loves to join in his spare time. Though these are all different posts written at different times, the common theme that perhaps links them, is that they all sit on overlapping boundaries of work and life a narration of events, relationships, successes, and failures which add up into the randomness of life that we all like to construct backwards into coherent stories. Ayon believes that at some point while you are reading this book, his story might intersect with yours, and make you reflect. And smile.
