Right ho, chums! Shantilal here, popping up like a cork in a bathtub to say a quick word or two about this what-d’you-call-it, this “Salis Mania Choice Awards” business. Now, I’ve always been a bit of an outsider to these literary shindigs, more at home with a plate of bhajiyas and a good game of cricket, what? But when my old pal Saugata – that’s Saugata Chakraborty – told me he was in the running for this “Best Fiction Author” prize, well, I couldn’t just sit idly by, could I?
You see, this chap is an author of depthless wit. Wrote a book called “Mostly Mundane,” though why he chose such a drab title for a book that’s anything but, I’ll never know. Perhaps he was dropped on his head as a baby. Dash it all, the man’s a genius! Reading his book is like riding a roller-coaster through a mango orchard, with a side trip to a Bollywood dance number. One minute you’re chuckling at some ludicrous situation involving a flying dosa and a misplaced badminton shot, the next you’re pondering the deeper meaning of life, the universe, and everything – all while trying to figure out who pinched the last samosa.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Shantilal, old bean,” you’re saying, “you’re biased! You’ve probably known this Chakraborty fellow since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, sharing tiffin boxes and swapping marbles.” And you’d be right, absolutely right! Known him for years, top-notch chap. But that’s not the point, is it? The point is, the man can write! He spins a yarn like a spider spins a web, except his webs are full of wit, charm, and the occasional exploding chutney jar.
So, here’s the thing, my dear. If you’re looking for an author who can transport you to a world of delightful absurdity, tickle your funny bone, and leave you feeling thoroughly entertained, then look no further than Saugata Chakraborty. Cast your vote for him, and I promise you won’t be disappointed. You might even find yourself spontaneously bursting into laughter at the most inappropriate moments, like during a board meeting or a solemn religious ceremony. But trust me, it’ll be worth it.
Pip pip! And don’t forget to vote for Saugata!
