Description

Ganesh Murthy (Appa, as we call him), the protagonist of this book, was born exactly one month after India gained independence from British rule. As the second of five siblings and the eldest son, he spent his early childhood in the serene landscapes of Kerala with his doting grandparents. His youth was marked by travels across the country, including extended stays in Mumbai and Kolkata, where his family eventually settled.

This book is a collection of some of the tales we grew up hearing. We have endeavoured to remain as true to the original narratives as possible, preserving their essence and humour. Yet, beneath the humour lies the poignant story of a child who faced fear and trauma, a child who had to mature far too quickly, and whose dreams were dashed before they could fully form.
