Well, I have finished reading this book 2 days ago. I want to meet a person face to face who said it is a bad book . We even can’t define this book as good or bad , it is a harsh reality about which we try to forget or simply aren’t aware. But by reading only such books people become aware of other poor people and then they think ohh God , how I can say I live bad while other people live worse in thousands times than me. People think about it !! This book makes us open our minds, souls and eyes. I can’t believe that after reading this book u will kick riksha-puller, or shout on him , or even bargain with him for 1 or 2 ruppiya. I don’t believe ! And I will tell you, after reading this book I see world in differnt eyes, how we can be happy, how we can think about new dress, new car, or house while other people eat per day one banana, how we can do it !!!!????? I don’t know....i just don’t know.........while reading I coudln’t stop crying, I felt shame of myself, how I can cry if husband shouts on me, how I can cry if whole day I hear noise, how I can ask God anything, , , , , , , , I don’t know............nothing is more important that people. How politions can think about economy, about budjet , about building taller buildings, , how ????!!!! while so many people suffer and not only in India, in wholeee entire world. Ohh God , when people will realize it will be too late, always we understand the very truth too late.
I felt such pain for all those people in the slum, such pain. Ohh God!!! and even now having lived in India 2 years , every day I see this harsh reality........................
