An Anthology of Contemporary Bengali Plays by Bratya Basu

This anthology of six selected plays, written between 2000 and 2020 by Bratya Basu, winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award 2021, is the first collection of Bengali plays that blends avant-garde, pop and traditional cultures with contemporary dramatic themes. The six plays, freshly translated into English, each bring a uniquely Bengali and Indian perspective to the intermingling of past and present, global and local, and magical and real in a postmodern pastiche about India today. The collection is divided into three thematic sections: 1) 'Poignant Challenges, Soulful Remorse' examines power in Indian politics, religion, and family. 2) '(In)visible Boundaries, (Un)democratic Choices' explores the relationship among democracy, nation building, and the role of women in intergenerational political struggle. 3) 'Intimately Political, Politically Intimate' navigates queer identity, mental health and the fabulation of modern Bengali life in a 21st-century India straddling the progressive politics that removed section 377 and Hindu nationalisms that stoke new conservatisms.

Big Little World

Romen Basu' S Verse Cannot Be Rushed Into The Reader'S Heart. So, Since He Only Persuades And Hints At Life Truths, With A Gracious Indirection, Nothing Frontal. Those Who Are Familiar With His Earlier Volumes Of Poems Would Readily Agree With This. Certainly Some Of These Readers Would Have Derived Much Pleasure And Profit From Those. Like The Finesse That Is Palpable In The Prose And Substance Of His Novels, His Poems Too Gleam With An Expressive Beauty. There Is Rarely A Page That Lacks In Vivid Imagery And The Memorable Phrase. Basu'S Work Then Is Not The Offering Of A Slick Journalist, Nor That Of The Timid Intellectual, Nor Yet Is It Modeled Like The Intricate Jewellry Of The Aesthete. What It Attempts Is A Crystalline Vein Despite Struggling Through The Torpid Substance Of Modem Day Existence. Not Being Writing For Writing'S Sake, It Invariably Circles Round Our Prime Human Concerns. In Sum, These Verses Are Echoes Of The Author'S Own Running Pulse Even As It Progresses Through Life'S Varied Passage.

A Chudail to her prim mother-in-law, inexistent to the devil father-in-law, a damped down bomb to her once best friend Naveena and well, nothing whatsoever to her own husband Akash, the 23-year-old finds herself questioning the very concept of familism as her six months of tumultuous married life is hit with unanswerable questions sprouting every now and then in her head. Speaking of head, what do you think is its importance in Mrs. Basu's life? Oh boy, you're in for a surprise! Because the quirks of their tongue-in-cheek relationship is boun...

These three stories by Parashuram offer a short, yet vivid glimpse into the colourful cultural confusion of the colonial encounter in the hilarious world of the upper-middle-class Bengali. They playfully invert the colonial gaze, showing how the subjects viewed the ruler. But most importantly, these are stories of humour, implying, perhaps, that the ground on which two cultures collide is not necessarily just a space of conflict, but also a fertile ground on which laughter grows, uninhibited.

'Reason to Be Happy is a wise and witty book that shows how thinking clearly can help us find happiness in our daily lives, get more of what we want, and even make the world a better place' Hannah Fry Why do our friends have more friends than we do? How do you book the best available seats on a plane? And if jogging for ten minutes adds eight minutes to our life expectancy, should we still go jogging? The ability to reason is one of our most undervalued skills. In everyday life, the key is to put yourself in the shoes of a clever competitor and think about how they might respond. Whether you are dealing with events on the scale of the Cuban missile crisis or letting go of anger, leading economist Professor Kaushik Basu shows how game theory - the logic of social situations - can help us achieve better outcomes and lasting happiness. Full of fascinating thought experiments and puzzles, Reason to Be Happy is a paean to the power of rationality. If you want to have a good life and even make the world a better place, you can start by thinking clearly.
