Ishi’s comments from the HAPPIMESS by Biswajit Banerji Group discussion in collaboration with Indiacafe24.com group.

The book has been written in a very unique way and the writing style of the author really impressed me a lot. It is written in first person— this feature of the book made it more interesting to the readers as we are not just reading the book but we are experiencing the stories narrated by the author.

It is not easy to choose the perfect words while narrating humor. But author has shown the efficiency in that matter.
The way satire are used shows the experienced writing capability of the author.

While reading the story I could fit myself into the situations that have been discussed in the book because the Stories are very much relatable to our day-to-day life.


I really appreciate author's unique concept of writing this book and I really enjoyed every pages of it.

When I first read the title I thought I was reading it wrong— instead of happiness I am reading it as happimess.
It was natural because we always try to find happiness by sorting things out, so how can mess be happy?
But life is not always sorted —we create a mess, we become a mess.

The greatness of the stories of this book is that it will let you know that we all get trapped in life's tricky and awkward situations but how we are reacting to that is what matters.

Now let's get back to the question -
There is a difference between humour and satire. Humour is anything that causes laughter in our life and, on the other hand, satire is something which is made to show a point by making fun of something or someone.

Without these two, life would be so boring and dull. The author has done an excellent job of writing lives which are relevant to each of our lives by blending humor and satire.
While reading the stories, which are written from a first person perspective, there were many times when I thought - oh, this is how I should have reacted in my life too.

Maybe this was the goal of the author - let everyone find happimess in our lives.
