Payal, Thanks for your m2m and sorry to be so late to your review. It was a wonderful read. I am yet to read the book, though will be doing so at the earliest opportunity. In real life, my childhood friend's mom has faced untold miseries due to white patches on skin. I was able to relate t read more...
whateverhappens - Thanks for being here... This is one of my favourite reviews. Cheers! Ramya
Hi Vikky! Do read Ray's works... Its really awesome, and makes for a fab read. Pikoo's diary is way different from all other stories in the book as it deals with the mind frame of a child. There are stories with ghost and supernatural element, yes, so u'll find horror in them. Ruskin's treate read more...
Vee.. Exploring completely seems a good idea, but I would never do that at a stretch for a long time.... Maybe 2-3 books by the same author I would read consecutively, not more than that. Cheers! Ramya
Ipsi :) I will now have to check out for the movie.... would be great to see as I've read the same... I must see some of your other reccos too... will keep you guys reviews as a basis.. And yes Ipsi I can understand it would be very diff. to find time to read... Ur a certified phillum maniac read more...
Rohit! I chose books over movies, as that was my immediate interest. I may have seen his movies as a child, but I hardly remember. Nice to see u after long. Cheers! Ramya

Hi Gautam! I've heard of this book. Read a review about this one when I was looking for some other book in a different site. This was a comprehensive review, though you say its ur first. I didn't get this book immly then, should chekc now! Cheers! Ramya
Kwel :) I really loved this book. Wish I could buy, so I could re-read it as and when I like. Thank you for all the nice words,. Cheers! Ramya
Shanti! I feel books for children and even movies for children, are meant for us as well. There's something to learn told in a way which we would never forget. And yes, for people who can't afford to read the languiage in which it was originally written, translations come as a blessing. Ch read more...
Avs! Hope the price is not increased now ! I borrowed from library and its marked 250 and its a steal for that price... I have watched some of Ray's films I think at an age when nothing registered in my mind :( Cheers! Ramya

Gautam I don't know if u got it right, but yes healthwise am fine.. Fe had mentioned in his review about his contribution to literature, prior to that even I was in the dark,. Yes, writer doing the translation helped. ps: 1.will surely read ur book review.. 2.Thanks for apple. Che read more...
fe again:) Frankly I though maybe I wouldn't enjoy the stories with bizzarre elements/creature,. But I was equally awe struck by them as I was with other stories... You are bang on, about that fear thing. Really, some stories were like a slap on the face, so hard hitting.. I will never forg read more...
fe! You've made me read one of his books by your review, and I would go ahead with his other works for sure.. Thank You for that.
