Only a small story with some graphics(can depict more emotion than the words).

[Amit Tiwary · Rating 1 out of 5]

बेहद नीरस, लक्ष्यहीन कहानी.

Okay...

The story is wonderful. However, the book that comprises of just a small story is more like something for small kids, while the story doesn't suit small kids much.
