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.

Life-ing it - Long Runs. Short Runs

By: Ayon Banerjee

When will this end ? Wrong question – Argues Ayon Banerjee. It’s ‘How’, not ‘When’. Man is the only animal who grows when he’s alone, constrained & sad. Inside himself someplace, man waits for his arrival. 2020 & 2021 were two years in our lifetime that we spent being lonely, together. And arrived, at ourselves. “LIFE-ing It’ is the sequel to Ayon Banerjee’s much loved ‘As You Life It’, and contains his next instalment of life bytes – Some short, others shorter. There is no underlying theme to the standalone chapters, except for the fact that they all sit on overlapping boundaries of work & life of everymen who were forced to hit pause button in the past twenty months & who, through their own unique orifice of suffering, re-discovered the meaning of work & life in their own ways while being confined inside a forgotten planet called home.

As you Life it - Work as usual. Life as unusual

By: Ayon Banerjee

Time is a queer commodity that is reconstructed in memories and deconstructed in regrets as it goes by. Most of us sleepwalk through our youth in trying to win some kind of an identity . Then we stumble upon middle age & scramble to preserve that identity . And suddenly, standing at mid-point , we realize that somewhere in this medley of all the artificial races we were enlisting in, we have quietly let go of our greatness. Partly by default , partly by design. The first pangs of urgency hit us. We know this is no dress rehearsal. It is our own life that is gliding past. We straighten up and reach for it. And try to snare it on print. This book is Ayon’s attempt to capture his journey at intermission, narrated through a heterogeneous ensemble of his articles that take you through events, relationships, successes and failures which add up into the randomness of his life that he joins backwards into coherent stories.

Bereft

By: Ayon Banerjee

There are moments in a day when I need a place to forget how to be. And to write myself out of me. Bereft is my first collection of stories and life bytes. Some borrowed from reality, others imagined. Some short, others shorter. These are not all love stories, but they are all stories about lovesome kind of love. Love that keeps us going. And sometimes pause. I dedicate this book to every heart that has loved or wished it had. Or hadnt.
