Just finished reading 'Fragments of unbroken mirror' by Santanu Singa Chaudhuri. Thanks a lot to Nirmala Anand Mam for recommendingthis book. Indeed Memory is a Sieve. Book Fragmants of unbroken mirror is quite nostalgic. Old memories came alive. It was time of reminiscences. Childhood Mumbai life, writers as a profession, Telegram, London bus and few memorable toys, licenses, waiting and joy of getting a radio or one new item at home, song booklets, milk queues, buying vessels in exchangefor old cloths, the early news paper deliver and reading.....how fast things are changing....Beautifully documented, literary with life lessons.
It's interesting to see how memories about school, generation of relationships, books, experiences with pets and animals, street voices, vacations and vendors are all captured covering a period of time.
Nirmala,
Wow! I am bowled over by your friend’s reaction to the _Fragments …._ She has read it with so much attention and has remembered so many details. Even more significantly, she has captured the spirit of the stories so beautifully! When I receive messages like this, I feel it wasn’t such a bad idea to write them. Please tell her her review means a huge lot to me.
Yes, I have a second book in mind.
Santanu da
