When I picked this read, I thought it was more of a children's book with the same moral stories but it turned out to be a little different from them though it still was same with the moral and the moral was so fitting in today's time.
It isn't not only for children but also for us. The title gives a very vague idea about the book and what relevance it holds with the story. I got absolute contrasting ideas from the title and from the cover but the plot was something totally different.
The story is about two kids Bhujji and Rishi and their life through covid times. It was a fun and more of an adventurous read with a life lesson. This story is about being grateful for whatever we have got and always feeling blessed with little things in life.
The story was just greatly woven and very lucidly written. The illustrations are cute and keeps one hooked.
The book has that dose of nostalgia that one definitely needs yet comes with a freshness.
I absolutely enjoyed it. After reading the book blurb, it got stuck in my mind to read this book.
However, the one thing I wanted to point out was the title snd cover. They aren't so much like the story. They speak so little about the plot.
The writing of the book is simple and easy to comprehend. The story was picturesque and absorbing. I was promised a fun ride and I got it.
Happy Reading!

Tamasha by Nandita Ramesh is a delightful read that takes you on a journey of adventure, friendship and self-discovery. As I read through the pages, I found myself transported to the streets of Chennai, India where the story is set. Rishi, the protagonist, is a young boy who had been looking forward to a vacation with his father, but ends up stuck in his aunt's apartment due to COVID-19. He suspects his aunt to be a witch and is desperate to escape. Bhujji, his neighbor, also stuck at home, becomes his unlikely friend and they run away together.
As they navigate the streets of Chennai, they meet Karu, a street performer from the slums. Karu introduces them to a world of adventure and magic, and they learn valuable life lessons along the way. The characters are well-developed, and their experiences are relatable, making it easy to connect with them.
Nandita Ramesh's storytelling skills shine through in this debut novel, and I found myself eagerly turning the pages to find out what happens next. Tamasha is a heartwarming tale that is perfect for both children and adults alike. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an uplifting and engaging read.

Tamasha by Nandita Ramesh is a story centred mainly around the lockdown and Rishi's endeavour during the lockdown.
I personally felt that it is one of the books that I read which I needed to read and didn't know that I needed it, I hope that makes sense.
It is just very very heartwarming, it shows the innocence of pre teenage years of one's life in such a pure manner that it reminded me of characters from Ruskin Bond and Enid Blyton's book. I personally feel that this should be made a separate genre, these lockdown stories.
Coming to what I loved about the book, first and foremost, the story obviously, it was just greatly woven and very lucidly written. The illustrations are cute and keeps one hooked.
The book has that dose of nostalgia that one definitely needs yet comes with a freshness.
I absolutely enjoyed it.
Will recommend it to those who are looking for a story which consumes them and transports them to their childhood. Definitely looking forward to reading more from the author.

The start is about 2 kids, Rishi and Bhujji who are stuck inside the 4 walls of their home due to covid pandemic. Rishi is a boy who lives abroad with him mom. He has come home to India to spend some time with his dad but is stuck at his aunt's place. Bhujji being at home with her mom and dad so indignity work along with the baby boy at home fells to be all alone.
Rishi wants to run away to his father as he feels it socks being with his aunt and whom he thinks is a witch. Her rituals and routines makes him think her so. Thus both Rishi and Bhujji plans to sneak out from home and go to Rishi's dad place.
They set up for a fun filled adventure as they encounter Karu, a boy who lives on road side but sees life as a joyful one. This turns the perspective towards their own life for both Rishi and Bhujji. Even I was remained again about how blessed we are for what we have.
Thus the book gives us a insight about life and also urges us to count our blessings. I felt the book to be engaging and fun filled. Kids will definitely love reading the book.
The writing is quite simple and gripping. The quality of book is exceptional. The adventure and street life could be beautiful picturised while we read the book.
