Bengali on a Roadster: Fuel, Fog, and Feelings
By Bideep Roy
This is not your average motorcycle memoir. There's no macho nonsense or shiny chrome worship here. Instead, Bengali on a Roadster is a punch-in-the-gut meditation on movement, memory, and all the tea-fueled breakdowns in between.
Bideep Roy rides into the mist with a Royal Enfield and a heart full of unresolved metaphors. Each chapter swerves through absurd loneliness, roadside therapy dogs, foggy love stories, and Spotify playlists that should come with tissues. With prose that feels like poetry got grease on its hands, Roy dismantles both his bike and his soul-one gear, one ghost, one emotionally suspicious chai stop at a time.
Equal parts travelogue and existential mixtape, this book is for anyone who's ever felt too much, too often, with no map. It's Bukowski on two wheels, a love letter to silence, and a low-key roast of the human condition-with a helmet.
So read it. Cry a little. Then ride like your melancholy has somewhere to be
