Narayan book worm and here I am with another review of one of his most prominent books- The English teacher.  Surprisingly, this is the foremost book of his that brought tears into my eyes. It revolves around a bitter-sweet tale of an English professor and his family and feelings. In Narayan's autobiography I came to know that this bundle of pages actually included the author's own experiences with his daughter after his wife's death. As always the novelist's style of writing is vivid and lively. Though the story and the flow of the tale are thought-provoking some parts of this book could have been shortened. I felt they were prolonged a bit and that it could give birth to boredom in the reader. Well, this is altogether my perspective. The ingredients that enhance the experience while reading are wonderfully balanced and added to this work of art. Weaving humour and irony into this melancholy story is the author's skill that needs acknowledgement.<br />Build your own perception on this story after going through the colourful paragraphs of this remarkable<br />piece of work.</div>

Oliver Twist - Abridged

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Same book, Another review : </span></span><a href="http://heavybookreview.blogspot.in/2013/04/oliver-twist-abridged.html">http://heavybookreview.blogspot.in/2013/04/oliver-twist-abridged.html</a><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Written by Charles Dickens, this book gives you a sensation of loneliness and despair around you, which is due to the writing style of the author. Although the book I have read is the abridged version, it still causes that feeling.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">So, let’s come to the story. A boy born as an orphan was named Oliver Twist, and sent into an orphanage where children died of starvation. He was many times ‘donated’ or ‘adopted’ by others, but still his gloominess remained almost intact. Unable to face the difficulties in his life, he runs away.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">He sets upon travelling to London to lead a better life, and also gets aided by a same aged boy in the way. However, he nearly tumbles into the dark life of Money and Crime, and soon finds that he was to escape. He gets caught by the police, but fortunately adopted by someone. He is taken care off, until the burglars kidnap him. He makes unproductive attempts to escape, and gets shot during his involvement in a robbery.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">He then begs for help, to the same people whom he was forced to rob. He finds help, and soon recovers. He narrates his story and everyone believes it. The search for robbers begins.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">I would not like to reveal everything, but am sure that reading this would definitely fluctuate the thoughts of joyfulness and despair among you. This story is embedded with little crime, in which innocent humans and animals get harmed.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Enjoy reading this book which represents the unchivalrous life of Charles Dickens during his childhood. I did not choose to read the unabridged book as it was too long, and required a lot of time, which is absent for me at present.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij58M2YdBcPCD2JHrzYVCbycAQrpFcnVqcFuXd8S9x2CAPDgNcy0ayTMZnsP6jNiY3xeOpA5yUJeuY3Hs8EzUQsSt1PCzEfsDK-RdS2LL6gq8LzJwPvxjW_ZMyhIW2A7Od-fsxErnX7f0/s1600/iver.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij58M2YdBcPCD2JHrzYVCbycAQrpFcnVqcFuXd8S9x2CAPDgNcy0ayTMZnsP6jNiY3xeOpA5yUJeuY3Hs8EzUQsSt1PCzEfsDK-RdS2LL6gq8LzJwPvxjW_ZMyhIW2A7Od-fsxErnX7f0/s1600/iver.jpg" /></a></span></div></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxX3dYYfMBEsBhff9JDjfTh7bT-EadzE3SUCQj71ANMuE2wJejRYLSgNSPjtY3fnHNVRb4R57jMIJxtkr5tFPogXiBIcEvUeZlJNvVawK1SEBgrUY69Mifre0ab-Imh0f0HMdywXFGVt4/s1600/mahabharat_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxX3dYYfMBEsBhff9JDjfTh7bT-EadzE3SUCQj71ANMuE2wJejRYLSgNSPjtY3fnHNVRb4R57jMIJxtkr5tFPogXiBIcEvUeZlJNvVawK1SEBgrUY69Mifre0ab-Imh0f0HMdywXFGVt4/s320/mahabharat_1.jpg" width="220" /></a>At last I finished the 444 paged epic (including the glossary it would have been483 pages)! I personally don't have much interest in Mythology but somehow the beautiful and vivid portrayal of the events in this book grasped my attention all the while I read it. It is written by a very famous Indian writer who is popularly known as 'Rajaji', his original name being, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari. I still did not gain the courage to read the original epic written many thousands of years ago by Vyasa which comprises of 18 fat volumes (Parvas which consist of sub- parvas), each being atleast three times (can be more too) of this retold version.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMA__nlZDE6tB9XhFywxtHZl4J5YPA6JYUehEciLcfbptisYtiHhDBqATugpjNOcU2TMuwo-akgz_5Ovhde0bGb4VvRoVwmxJcZZzM1EMg92tl-aXhXShy9OJRgJHe2axd7QfB4DOqgzf/s1600/Mahadraupadi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMA__nlZDE6tB9XhFywxtHZl4J5YPA6JYUehEciLcfbptisYtiHhDBqATugpjNOcU2TMuwo-akgz_5Ovhde0bGb4VvRoVwmxJcZZzM1EMg92tl-aXhXShy9OJRgJHe2axd7QfB4DOqgzf/s1600/Mahadraupadi.jpg" /></a>What is the most amazing thing about the Mahabharata, is that, it contains every thing that we come past in our lives. Nothing is left untold, neither drama is missing nor romance nor betrayal, nor jealousy, nor anything . The treasures of the Mahabharata do not limit to India only, but to all parts of the world. However, this fact cannot be denied that the unmatched epic has given a perennial source of spiritual strength to the people of India and is the main reason for some of the most heroic tasks done by them.<br />These are the words given out by the writer- "The realities of life are idealized by genius and given the form that makes drama, poetry or great prose. Since literature is closely related to life, so long as the human family is divided into nations, literature cannot escape the effects of such division. But the highest literature transcends regionalism and through it, when we are properly attuned, we realize the essential oneness of the human family. The Mahabharata is of this class."<br />Books like The Mahabharata enhance human character and embed the best moral values in it. The victory of the Good over the Evil is prevalent in all sectors of life and a better perception of this stays behind, with you after reading the book.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj75cssF7s7PLPt9QIGku1E0j0tvFUSU0C9qPPXbuQEPz2yRunaNAw7dOkewi1z3yMdHhLgNHWjVjFlowJEhvdEiwqYarAS13zKlcXWiVnWPgGP3JzNYb1P2k66F8WO8ow85kN1coRbZXoR/s1600/Maha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj75cssF7s7PLPt9QIGku1E0j0tvFUSU0C9qPPXbuQEPz2yRunaNAw7dOkewi1z3yMdHhLgNHWjVjFlowJEhvdEiwqYarAS13zKlcXWiVnWPgGP3JzNYb1P2k66F8WO8ow85kN1coRbZXoR/s320/Maha.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The Pandavas become an ideal to all who read the book and so do the Kauravas, but there is a vast difference in their idealism. The poet, Vyasa through his narration shows you that the Pandavas did what we are expected to do and the Kauravas did everything that is not desired and is not expected to be done by anyone.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho8WebmDpNpLZizSdVtKtY71WExzRDoQs8P9OjGc7abSjsCus9VFAaQ83wykH1P7nNoPnenaS8_-956mv7L_avhvJnomgz84QaPuoCJ5R5g6w-IpoDEtiakJa7fxhqSg4jNYk2e2vcJgSQ/s1600/Mahakrishna_arjuna_conchshells.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho8WebmDpNpLZizSdVtKtY71WExzRDoQs8P9OjGc7abSjsCus9VFAaQ83wykH1P7nNoPnenaS8_-956mv7L_avhvJnomgz84QaPuoCJ5R5g6w-IpoDEtiakJa7fxhqSg4jNYk2e2vcJgSQ/s1600/Mahakrishna_arjuna_conchshells.jpg" /></a>Retelling the story in such way that creates an interest in me, a person who dislikes any type of mythology, is truely where the author's real skill lies in.<br />The richness of the Indian culture and traditions and the sweetness of a well civilized Indian life is wonderfully painted by the author.<br />To conclude- The Mahabharata is an evergreen classic whose truthfulness will never perish. Read this translated, retold version to obtain a better life and to learn to distinguish the good from bad. Let modern yet noble ideas come to you by reading this enchanting epic.</div>

Mr. Pink Whistle Interferes

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Fond memories of this book are left behind in my mind. One fine day, when I was 11, I happened to pick this book up from the shelves of my school library and I think that that decision of mine was very fruitful. Would you like to know why? It's because ,before the event took place in my life, I had least interest in my library class and would always be busy chatting with my buddies.<br />By now you might have guessed that, at that point of time I just fell in love with this book due to it's short and sweet stories revolving around Mr Pink Whistle whom I consider a super hero even now.<br />The stories speak about Mr. Whistle, an imaginary character drawn by Enid Blyton, who intervenes into the lives of unfortunate children and changes them altogether. I know that the stories written by Enid Blyton will forever impress the tender minds of children and the biggest proof lying ahead me is myself.<br />Do read through this creative novel, all my dear readers to have a fun-filled experience and   <i>transform into a little kid again</i>( only for those who are not kids anymore).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIC2iejODFQ7jLCdCf_QmdCV0AWd34QtILQFxjqSG4G21sD5-d_lEu53JslfI-sr8lOQ7dpDWW96-SsvQ0O_OebUKWRQZ10tzCyV6OCMga1T_E0O7gWyJOxfFn2ptmR3G3ALI_5-kZ_LK9/s1600/pinkb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIC2iejODFQ7jLCdCf_QmdCV0AWd34QtILQFxjqSG4G21sD5-d_lEu53JslfI-sr8lOQ7dpDWW96-SsvQ0O_OebUKWRQZ10tzCyV6OCMga1T_E0O7gWyJOxfFn2ptmR3G3ALI_5-kZ_LK9/s1600/pinkb.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div>

Rusty and the Leopard

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This review is written by me after a long time (really long). As usual, Ruskin Bond's mesmerizing, but completely simple form of writing has excited me once again.<br /><br />As the name suggests, you might think that the story revolves around a leopard, but you are completely wrong if you think so! I believe, the first appearance of a leopard was in the last quarter of the book. This is the third book in the 'Rusty' series, and I found it more interesting than the previous versions, as Rusty, the protagonist becomes a lot matured in this book, and he meets a lot of new people to set a life of his own. I felt that 'Rusty's Life' or 'The Adventures of Rusty' as a name for this book would sound appropriate.<br /><br />At the time when Rusty spends his life on the roof, Mr and Mrs Kapoor go out on some work, and Rusty is sent off the house. Rusty meets many new people, and befriends them (some of them were thieves). He always dreams of becoming a writer and goes to England, or perhaps Australia, America, etc.<br /><br />Read this book to find out how will Rusty's fate take shape, and what will happen at the end. If you don't prefer to read the book, then simply read what is written below this!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrGfKD7sW7AfmV09kgIijcBGeQzGez6UE57nXlrkkWkW6LPniF9Vwi9Ls6r538Q9oi-ps4tEPRNU0u90q13Pr0gAzzHcf7C-MsbkS7kGAbb89z25X1yl3DAhJCUyRyfSdaxwqdi_v7zI/s1600/67785.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrGfKD7sW7AfmV09kgIijcBGeQzGez6UE57nXlrkkWkW6LPniF9Vwi9Ls6r538Q9oi-ps4tEPRNU0u90q13Pr0gAzzHcf7C-MsbkS7kGAbb89z25X1yl3DAhJCUyRyfSdaxwqdi_v7zI/s1600/67785.gif" width="205" /></a></div><br /><u>Spoiler Warning!</u><br />Mrs. Kapoor dies in a car accident after she goes with Mr. Kapoor. Their son, Kishen is taken away by his father who later marry's another woman. However, he escapes and becomes a thief.<br />Rusty remains homeless and wanders many places, including Hardiwar, where he finds Kishen and both of them return to Dehra.<br />They find an other friend, and three of them spend their nights in an abandoned church. Meanwhile, Rusty discovers an old man, who seems to be a friend of his father; and an old woman who has some of Rusty's Father's books (Including the first edition of <i>Alice In Wonderland</i> which he decides to sell)<br />Rusty then decides to go to England, and does as he wishes. The story ends when he gets seated in the train.</div>

This book by her is no different. She conveys her messages to all her readers through a very simple but vivid style of writing. There is a swift flow in all the 23 stories in this book with their arrangement/placing done in a very thoughtful manner. The lessons that are revealed from her experiences are very beautiful. For example, one of the stories in this book named "Ganga's ghat" teaches us to carry out social service within our limits and the story "Genes" educates us with the message that we must develop a good value-system as value-systems do not pass from parents to children. A good amount of curiosity generates in the readers while reading the passages.
