A very good book to read...how one should think and react when you have everything...how selfish people are in and around inside your family makes your life tougher harder..so for being happier one should have cultivate the habit of giving more and more for the needful people without any expectations in return

Excellent 👌

[Sneha Saraswathi · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good, short read. It made me really sad for some reason.

The only thing I could observe was, the characters were forced into these boxes - the greedy, the good - the rich, the poor - the middle class man with a grey area in terms of greed and kindness was missing, so I couldn't really relate to most of the characters in here.

ಪ್ರತ್ಯಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ ಕಂಡರೂ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಿಸಿ ನೋಡು ಅನ್ನೋ ನೀತಿ ಹೇಳೋ ಕಥೆ.
ಗುಂಡಕ್ಕ ಗಾಳಿ ಸುದ್ದಿ ನಂಬಿ ಚಂಪಕ್ಕನ ಕಿವಿ ಚುಚ್ಚಿ, ಭಾಗವ್ವನ ಜೀವನ ಹಾಳು ಮಾಡಿದ್ಲು. ಮಾಧವರಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದ ಪಾಪಕ್ಕೆ ಮಗ ವೆಂಕಟೇಶ ಮತ್ತು ಮೊಮ್ಮಗಳು ಪ್ರಾಯಶ್ಚಿತ್ತ ಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಂಡು ಹೇಗೆ ಋಣ ಮುಕ್ತರಾದ್ರು ಅನ್ನೋ ಕಥೆ.
ಹುಬ್ಬಳ್ಳಿ ಭಾಷೆ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ use ಆಗಿದೆ ..ಓದ್ತಾ ಹೋದ್ರೆ ಮುಗ್ದಿದ್ದೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗೊಲ್ಲ .

A very brief story of a man and his act indebtedness which he does owing to the mistakes done by his father. Crisp story telling by Sudha Murthy. North Karnataka dialect in between the book seems refreshing. One time read.

पुस्तक वाचल्यावर वाचकाला प्रश्न पडतो की आदर्शवाद योग्य की भौतिकवाद योग्य. पटकन वाचून होण्यासारखं पुस्तक!

How to read book

[Shankara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story.. Takes a turn from normal money based thinking to morality based thinking..

[Ranajeet Dewasthalee · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful story which could have made into 5 star review (its 4.75 as per me), felt it needed a bit more closure (don't want to spill the beans on the story hence not mentioning my thoughts on the end).

All in all a great read.
