This book is really worth reading and keeping it with you as a memoir. These kind of books are very rare nowadays and one should not miss the opportunity of having such books in their library. The way Mistry has described the misery, the struggle and the filthy drawbacks of casteism in INDIA is really mind blowing. The tragic end is the icing on the cake. I never expected the book to take such a sharp turn in the end. I read this book twice and now also I would like to read it again.
There were some more books by Mistry after this one but this one is and will remain the best.The optimistic view of the INDIAN POOR CLASS is aptly described in the movie, how they keep hoping for the best and the dominators keep screwing them.The basic nature of human being i;e LOVE is also described in the book, the way the Muslim's save lives of Schedule castes is really moving. Recommended for a life time.
