I had built up an immense hope right from the time I ordered the book from Amazon. Ever since reading Twinkle Khanna’s ‘Mrs Funnybones’ I was bursting with excitement to read this one. Needless to say I had pre-booked it and my patience was thoroughly paid off.
I started & finished this book in one sitting as I was waiting in line for my turn for a bank transaction during these testing days of demonetization.
The collection of short stories talks about the matters of heart & determination. My favorite of the entire bunch was the one with Noni Appa and finding love at an unexpected corner of her life. The others in the collection are enjoyable as well. I was rather awestruck by ‘The Sanitary Man from a sacred land’ which like all her other stories is written with so much grace and ingenuity. Fashioned on the struggle of Arunachalam Muruganantham, the author has woven the story with panache and added some fictional bits as well. Of course being an ardent fan of dogs, I absolutely loved the relationship between her lead character Bablu and his mongrel Choti. Both Muruganantham & she have proven that feminism need not only be the property of women, strong men can be supreme feminists too.
Whether it is the one with the young girl who creates a plan to save the girl child of the village or the one with the lady who was on a tryst to find the meaning of life & true love, each of Ms. Khanna’s characters are embodiment of will power & strength of character.
My verdict:
- Must read for everyone whether you are a feminist or not.
- I am in love with her writing and I eagerly wait for her next literary excellence to pop up.
