Very tightly packed, the book is very concise and will test you ability to restrain your laughters/giggles  – so beware, you might look a fool if you will try to read it in a public place . It is heartening to find such a book which dares to be candid on so many issues  – be it a small town lad, sexual repression prevailing in the indian society and fantasies of an aspiring and talented common man. It is a daring piece of work by an author who knows his way with words that make a straight way directly into your heart. Enjoy Reading !!

To say something about Satyajit Ray seems like possessing a big mouth . Few of us know him as a writer since he is better known to us as a film maker. Well, he intended to write some funny, educative, thriller stories for young children for his monthly magazine for children. However, the stories turned out to be read more by adults and easily became the rage of the town. Simply superb way of story telling. Since the stories are meanth for children, Ray has made an excellent choice to have the narrator of stories as Topshe, a young lad in his teens – a cousin of our detective Feluda. The stories are always set in different locales within and sometimes outside India and give such an elaborate account of the locales that reader feels like having seen the same place through Ray’s eyes. To add, without letting you even know about it, the stories add a lot to your knowledge quotient as Ray is spicing up his stories with good amount of knowledge without bogging down the reader with the “learning stress”.

In all, an excellent book to be read by your kids and you as well, in case you are still young at heart
