A hilarious volume containin a slightly adult novel and rest short stories - each bringing more and more laughter for the young and the old. Blending the signature style of puns with ready wit Shibram Chakrabarty has created a world of his own. Starting from title of the omnibus that confuses the reader about the real spelling of his name the style followed is just unique. Some hilarious episodes bordering nonsensicality but never becoming too much irritating the stories are mostly just fun filled. The content of this fantastically humourous volume runs as

The volume not only contains some of the funniest episodes but also contains one of the interesting novels by Shibram. Albeit a bit forced at places but the novel is enjoyable still though it never comes close to the appeal of the stories. Can be readily utilized to counter boredom, I personally felt it a wonderful companion in the long bus journey promising an even longer day (!) at the workplace. Also the tiring mind found it as another pleasant companion in bed (!) right before stealing into the land of dreams. Recommended for both young and old it may be enjoyed by a slightly mature mind.
