Ha...Ha...Hasya
The devas are at the gates of the asura kingdom, raring to wage war. But the asuras turn up unarmed and jolly! Is their king, Hasyasura, up to something? Does he have a secret weapon?
Indra, king of the gods, is suspicious. Enter Narada, and a plan is afoot. It involves HasyaSura, the teen deva, who is sent down as spy to uncover the plans of his almost-namesake down under. Plunging into the hurly-burly of Patala politics, he meets more than his match in Princess Shantaswaroopa who has ideas of her own to resolve the eternal enmity between suras and asuras! A laugh-out-loud story that surgically strikes stereotypes to make a pitch for sporting wars.

"Ha...Ha...Hasya" by Ashok Rajagopalan is a thoroughly enjoyable book that combines humor and mythology in a unique and brilliant way. From the moment I started reading, I found myself increasingly drawn into the hilarious and captivating storyline.
I acquired this book during a workshop organized by Thulika, and I must express my gratitude for introducing me to such an awesome read. The illustrations and the overall presentation of the book are also impressive. However, as an avid lover of mythology, I personally prefer mythologies to be presented in their original form, which is why I deduct one star from my rating.
Overall, "Ha...Ha...Hasya" is a delightful book that guarantees laughter and enjoyment while shedding new light on age-old mythology. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a humorous yet mythologically rich read. With its engaging narrative and clever humour, this book has earned a well-deserved four-star rating from me.⭐⭐⭐⭐
