Indian summers are never complete withhout a trip to naani's place doing absolutely nothing but lazying around and creating a ruckus. While the adults were busy catching up on their after noon nap, all the neighbourhood trees were climbed over again and again. Stealing fruit from the orchards and getting scolded was a daily thing, one which brings a smile to a grown up's face even now.
These books were our childhood companions. We laughed on their jokes, cried over their sorrows, and participated in their adventures. It would be a cardinal sin to forget Swami and his gang of friends on their day to day adventures.
These books are an escape route to a wold lolst to us adults now giving us a chance to dive deep into the carefree days of summer holidays at naani's.
