Weight Loss by Upamanyu Chatterjee



'Between the ages of eighteen and thirty-seven, when he died, Bhola had just eight sexual partners, four women and four males. When he reviewed his life...it pleased him that he had maintained a balance between genders in his choice of lovers. Of course, it was ridiculous that he should at the age of thirty-seven be lightheadedly embarrassed about how few were the people he had slept with. Then he reminded himself that that was nothing new, that he had always felt ridiculous, not to worry.'

Weight Loss, Upamanyu Chatterjee's fourth novel, is only tangentially about losing weight. And though the hero dies tragically young, it is, fundamentally, comic.

Bhola, innocent and unremarkable, but for his near crippling obsession with sex and running, fears taking on the burden of emotional commitment and goes through life falling in love with all kinds of inappropriate people. At school, he lusts indiscriminately after his teachers, of both sexes, and is attracted to eunuchs. While in college, far from home, he has vaguely demeaning affairs with his landlady and with a vegetable vendor-cum-nurse and her husband. Later, he marries (a woman who sings with a voice of liquid gold), fathers a daughter (‘a warm, living thing') and suspects he is close to balance and beauty. Then his past catches up with him.

Upamanyu Chatterjee's genius for black humour and the absurd has never been more compelling than in this unforgettable portrait of a lost life.

Mainak Dhar Omnibus

1. Alice in Deadland Series


Civilization as we know it ended more than fifteen years ago, leaving as it's legacy barren wastelands called the Deadland and a new terror for the humans who survived- hordes of undead Biters. Fifteen year-old Alice has spent her entire life in the Deadland, her education consisting of how best to use guns and knives in the ongoing war for survival against the Biters. One day, Alice spots a Biter disappearing into a hole in the ground and follows it, in search of fabled underground Biter bases. 

What Alice discovers there propels her into an action-packed adventure that changes her life and that of all humans in the Deadland forever. An adventure where she learns the terrible conspiracy behind the ruin of humanity, the truth behind the origin of the Biters, and the prophecy the mysterious Biter Queen believes Alice is destined to fulfill. A prophecy based on the charred remains of the last book in the Deadland- a book called Alice in Wonderland.

2. Heroes R Us


What happens when fate chooses an ordinary man for an extraordinary mission?

Arnab Banerjee, a shy twenty-five-year-old, has little excitement in his life other than tracking down missing books as an assistant librarian in a Delhi college. But all that changes when one day he is beaten up during a bank robbery. He awakens to discover that he has developed superhuman powers, which he hones with the help of Khan chacha, an ex-army man. And so begins his crusade against eve-teasers, corrupt policemen, and scheming politicians. But in his final adventure to thwart a deadly terror attack, Delhi’s ‘Guardian Angel’ is forced to join hands with the very men he has fought against: the minister who wants to use him to rig elections, the policemen who tried to kill him in an ‘encounter’, and the liquor baron who invited him to become his brand ambassador. Will he succeed in his mission and still preserve his ideals?​

3. Vimana


Legends have it that Gods flew in aircraft called vimanas and waged war with fantastic weapons. What if these turned out to be true? College student by day and wannabe fighter pilot by night, Aaditya’s immense knowledge of flying and fighter planes is displayed only on flight sims and Internet forums.

A chance encounter propels him into the centre of an ancient conflict between good and evil that has been raging for thousands of years, revealing to him a hidden world that we dismiss as mere myths from our ancient past. Alongside Shiva, Karthik, Durga, Indra and other gods, Aaditya has to stop the terrible plans of Kalki, the prodigal son. Seated at the controls of a vimana, Aaditya finds himself living his dream in a way he had never imagined possible!

4. Zombiestan


It began with stories of undead Taliban rampaging through Afghan villages, and faster than anyone could have anticipated; the darkness spreads through the world. In a world laid waste by this new terror, four unlikely companions have been thrown together- a seventeen year old boy dealing with the loss of his family, a US Navy SEAL trying to get back home, an aging, lonely writer with nobody to live for, and a young girl trying to keep her three year old brother safe. 

When they discover that the smallest amongst them holds the key to removing the scourge that threatens to destroy their world, they begin an epic journey to a rumoured safe zone high in the Himalayas. A journey that will pit them against their own worst fears and the most terrible dangers- both human and undead.

A journey through a wasteland now known as Zombiestan.
