A book that brings out the relationship between humans and nature. How the "home" should be. Deals with the modernity that makes one lose the "home". With illustrations the text brings out the effect.

This nice little story by Vinod Kumar Shukla is about a tenant who always looks for if there is a tree within the property before renting it.
