Panchashti Galpa by Indranil Sanyal [Hardcover]

Indraneel Sanyal has been writing stories for over two decades, with the number of his stories exceeding two hundred. His stories have primarily been published in *Desh*, *Anandabazar Patrika*, *Aro Anand* app, *Sananda*, *Ebela*, and *Unish Kuri*, as well as in various other newspapers and magazines. From these, fifty stories have been selected for this collection. Although Indraneel's stories are urban-centric, they do not revolve around the conventional middle-class environment. They paint pictures of human relationships in the shadowy spaces hidden within the familiar world, using the grey hues of what is lost or unattainable. The familiar backdrop becomes something new, and what was once a known story suddenly feels unfamiliar. These fifty stories are narratives of human beings gradually becoming increasingly isolated in a globalized world.
