WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
Legendary writer Banaphool cleverly explores how life's absurdities are negotiated through human relationships; whether between friends, lovers family or strangers. In the title story, a lovelorn boy waits earnestly in his hostel room for the arrival of his beloved, only to be greeted by a rude shock. The fickle nature of love is at the centre of Conjugal Dreams, as two newlyweds confront their old loves. The Homecoming is about an isurance agent's encounter with a most unexpected co-passenger while travelling home by train for Durga Puja. And a harmless wager leads to very dramatic consequences in The Corpse.
