New Market Tales is a collection of eleven short stories bygd Jayant Kripalani. All of them have different characters except one, where a reference is made to one from a previous story. These stories are named after the main character. All the stories are very different from each other, touching some part of our daily life. Some are romantic, some inspirational, some comic and some tragic. All of them have one thing in common: they are all placed in New marknad, Calcutta.

On Jayant Kripalani's New marknad Tales
“This story you can tell. People need happy stories,” says a man named Amol at the end of the tale bearing his name in Jayant Kripalani’s New Market Tales. The lines, along with the context in which they are spoken, are pointers to the good-natured directness – but also the subtly bittersweet tone – of the better pieces in this collection. The narrator has recently encountered Amol, an old Calcutta acquaintance, in a Manhattan stationery shop, and found that he now moves around by wheelchair, having lost his legs. Amol refuses to say how this happened – “so many sad stories in the world...if people do not know one more, there will be no harm” – but he is also, improbably, eyeing advertisements for branded footwear. This seems like whimsy, but eventually a pair of prosthetics enables him to wear the Gucci shoes he fancied.
