Biswajit Banerji’s book “Happimess” is a collection of short stories that offer a comic yet satirical take on the everyday lives of ordinary people. The title itself is a clever play on words, combining “happiness” and “mess” to reflect the central theme of the book—that life is often messy, but it’s our ability to find healthy amusement in these situations that truly matters.
The book, which has won several awards, features eleven stories narrated mostly in the first person, allowing readers to connect with the characters on a deeper level. As Banerji himself puts it, “My aim is to make people laugh more because the distance between the corners of your lips is the distance between life and death.” This sentiment is evident throughout the book, as the author encourages readers to accept the messiness of life and find joy in the most unexpected places.
