My Thoughts
This book is pure love. I have seen the TV show first and then read the book. Last year when I read this book, it flooded me with memories.
Every single story is written from the heart and still serves its purpose. In today's time, where the world has changed so much, the book is still relevant. The book has aged very like wine.
My favourite stories from the book are "The Doctor's Word", "The Blind Dog" and "Iswaran".
One must read this book to get a glimpse of what is called life.
