Author Review copy

The Story expresses the life of an old man after his wife’s death who is living his final lonely senile days with the solace of sweet memories. The way that the story begins is picturesque and quite natural one.

This is my first eBook reading experience. Because of the book is only about twenty-two pages in number, one can easily read it without any screen reading struggles.

Even though it is short read, it covers so many details in the life of an elderly people who spends their alone-time in different world. The conversation between Maithili and Adhiyaman thatha is expressed with humor mixed lovely couple conversation. The importance of love is projected.

The unfading love and craziness between these elderly couple shows that love beyond the nature. It is quite amused thing in this story while reading it.

There is no other exaggeration of any incidents and stands on its own pace. The appearance of other supporting characters is fairly used.

Although I cannot correlate the necessity of the scene between the kids, Ramya and Gowri. Or maybe the scene’s importance should have added some more impression.

This short story is recommended for short and quick read while the readers are in their reading slump.
