Nabarun Bhattacharya's latest collection of magic realism centre's on Baby K and Parijat (the abbreviation K is better not explained) with a fireman on tow and some other characters that are not recurrent like the rest in
- Aguner Mukh
- Parijat o Baby K
- Baby K.
- American Petromax
- Fire-fight
- Baby K and Spiderman Parijat
- Baby K, Parijat, Pangapal o Markin Samrajyabaad
Barring the first one, the others though are loosely related to each other but are not so compact presentation as the Fyatarus were. Mixed with humour the stories are handicapped in the sense that though the characters remain the same but the continuity is not maintained which seems to be the chief drawback. Though the title is alluring but the stories are not so. It begins well but as it proceeds a note of monotony sets in that remains throughout.
