About the author
Kamala Suraiyya Das
97 books815 followersSee also Madhavikutty
Kamala Suraiyya (born Kamala; 31 March 1934 – 31 May 2009), also known by her one-time pen name Madhavikutty and Kamala Das, was an Indian English poet and littérateur and at the same time a leading Malayalam author from Kerala, India. Her popularity in Kerala is based chiefly on her short stories and autobiography, while her oeuvre in English, written under the name Kamala Das, is noted for the poems and explicit autobiography.
Her open and honest treatment of female sexuality, free from any sense of guilt, infused her writing with power, but also marked her as an iconoclast in her generation. On 31 May 2009, aged 75, she died at a hospital in Pune. Das has earned considerable respect in recent years.

Busy parents.. Green and lovely villages.. Yearning to go back to the loving granny.. This is a story full of nostalgia.. And the child's struggle to cope up with it..she finds a companion in a servant at her home.. He tells her stories and plays with her.. A missing feeling clouded my mind when I read this..
