bookshelves: favorites, fiction, friendship, india, family, india-translated
I don't consider myself a book reviewer. No. These are not reviews. I write these as little notes to remind me of the books I read. Giving a star doesn't cut it for me. I would like to know years later what I had thought of a particular book, the words that had moved me, and the voices that had shaped me then.
I don't need to write a little note for 'Aparajito'. This book I will remember for the rest of my life along with 'Anna Karenina.' I cried at the end for Apu because you can't help but fall in love with him. I was awed at Bibhutibhushan's marvelous writing vision. Just simply one of the best books I have ever read in my life.

I am so glad you are reading Indian regional books. There is always a different charm in these books. And maybe i will come to Bangaluru to thank you :D :D
Haha. We have miles to go, don't we? I am not a book re-reader. Yet.
