Brilliant piece of work .. Have been going through bits and pieces of this book, initially bought to subside the boredom in the 14 hour flight to Beijing .. But then sleep got better of me and this went into the cabin baggage .. lost the book for the next couple of months before it resurfaced in mah FMB book dump .. Been reading it from Dec 30th .. at a pace of 10 pages a night ... never found time even thought it was totally engrossing and bewitching ...Made up my mind to finish it today .. and so dedicated my whole holiday to it .. 400 pages ... totally magical content .. kept me glued (Maybe i am exaggerating a bit .. i had a short break .. short mathlab 3 hours .. watched another classical piece of art - Dor .. a good movie .. but lost interest in the end) ... and so it ended ..
Me read somewhere that a good book is something , that is kinda depressing to part with and leaves a tinge of hunger for more by the time it ends .. Well it had all this and lot more ..
Its a story about Kanai - a Delhi based businessman , Piya a researcher on dolphins, fokir a fisherman and some mystical villages in sunderbans .. makes me wanna go there for a holiday .. explore the stuff .. it sure looks a big magical world from the authors point of view .. Worth a read folks .. don't miss it !
And my status now ... its close to 1.30 am ... lost sleep .. a lil hungry ... i guess there's one last ferro rocher left in the fridge now (thank u paaji !) .. psst psst .. vigneshwar gave me two boxload of chocolates the last time i met him in mumbai .. they sure are yummy!
good night !
Bienne
