Dispatches from Sowparnika

Více o knize

Most of us transit through life embracing and immersing in experiences, which are soon forgotten; but not Usha Kumar. Usha is not only gifted with the ability to recollect these passings of life be it trivial or significant but is also talented to pen them with clarity and simplicity into an interesting web of short stories. Dispatches from Sowparnika is a microcosm of the passage of human life. With stories of people and places, it is a compilation of everyday experiences as perceived by the author. If An Ode to My Mother, talks about the noteworthy qualities of the author's mom; A Sliver of History gives you an insight into indentured labour; Adieu, on a lighter note is about the dear old Ambassador car; while the pachyderm Guruvayur Kesavan is the focus in Blessed. Dispatches from Sowparnika has all of this and much more. The book is a compelling, heartening and ebullient read and will surely leave the reader reflecting on the many forgotten times, places and people in their lives.
