Pressy Days Nilanko Mallik

Pressy Days is a collection of short stories and plays, which seeks to bring out the life beyond academics which the author had with his batch-mates as undergraduate students of the Department of English, Presidency College, Kolkata (Now Presidency University). The setting and events are fictitious - as well as the names of the characters - but they occasionally relate to some glimpses of the past, which are explained in the footnotes. Pressy Days is intended to be a light-read for all students of Literature, especially those belonging to the prestigious institute. Although it is about students studying English Hons., teen-agers in general, including high school students, would definitely love the book, as it seeks out a life beyond academics, and tells how one can enjoy even when burdened with studies.
