Hi, I'm Biplab Kumar Mahato! I live in Jamshedpur! This is my personal life experience of Pother Panchali book!
I was in 9th standard! Bengali was my main subjectas literature! Bengali subject contained three books! One textbook one supplemantery and one grammer! The supplementary book was named "AAM AANTIR VENPU". I read that book thrice .I liked the story of a poor family boy and girl. Their challenges and neglegeance by rich people! Very painful to read and imagine those scenarios! Tears rolled down while reading!
Whenever I finished the book , I felt that this story is not finished yet. So, finally I asked my teacher about that! He told me that this book is a small part of a big book named"POTHER PANCHALI". My exam finished. I came here Jamshedpur for further study! Then one day I remember about that book. So I went to book store and bought it!
I finished one chapter a day! And completed in 20 days. And then I was a different person.Everyday I felt like I am the main charactet Apu and that is my life! I became immotionaly attached with the book.
Now whenever I think about reading that book again I feel myself immotionally weak! Because this book tears apart my heart and tears rolled down my eyes! So much engaging real life experience!
So, I recommend this book to you! You read it you feel it!
Thank you!
