Sudha Murthy, the author of this book was born in Shiggaon in north karnataka and this book is based on life in north karnataka. The reviewer is a marathi speaking bhandari engineer from north karnataka, but since Sudha murty is a brahmin from a powerful community, she does not face the problems which the reviewer,also an engineer from one of the poorest communities in north karnataka faces like resume, identity theft, government SLAVERY and banking fraud .
At present at least 10-15 raw/cbi employees including bengaluru brahmin cheater housewife nayanshree, wife of fraud tata power employee guruprasad, goan gsb fraud housewife robber riddhi nayak caro, siddhi mandrekar, goan bhandari call girl sunaina chodan, greedy gujju stock broker amita patel,indore housewife deepika/veena are getting monthly governmnent salary for faking website ownership, computer work, using a combination of SLANDER, CYBERCRIME and FAKE RUMORS.
the book is set in Shiggaon after the lockdown was announced in March 2020. Ajja and Ajji (marathi for grandfather and grandmother) are living in Shiggaon and after the lockdown is announced their children decided to send their grandchildren Raghu, Meenu,Krishna,anoushka to live with them. Ajja’s sister Kamlu and her granddaughter Aditi also join them. Since the household help cannot come due to the lockdown, the grandparents decide to divide all the work among the grandchildren, so that they are busy and the household work can be completed quickly
While doing the various household chores, the grandparents tell various stories which are recounted in detail. Some of the stories are related to the various crops and plants which are grown like wheat, rice and beans, how the seeds were obtained, why some plants are small in size. The book also has stories on how women are harassed if they have a daughter, so they falsely claim that the daughter is a son and lives like a son leading to problems later
One of the more interesting stories in the book is Forty days of quarantine, about anmol, a young orphan who was working in a restaurant. he was making very less money and was looking for an opportunity to improve himself. When a rich looking stranger deepak came to the restaurant looking for a recruit. The conditions for the job was that the young man would not do any work for 40 days, After the period was over anmol was taken to the forest, and locked in a large bag. The bag was covered with meat to lure a large eagle to carry it to the top of the hill. the top of the hill was covered with expensive jewels,and anmol was asked to throw them down to deepak. anmol realized that the eagle would kill him after the meat was over, so he asked deepak for an escape route. Deepak then showed his true colors telling them that there was no safe escape route, either remain and get eaten by the eagle or jump into the river below and get drowned. What happens next forms the rest of the story.
This shows how people, especially those with less money are often lured by rich people who use and discard them. Slowly the quarantine is eased, and the children return to their parents. many of the stories are set in kingdoms, and talk about the importance of honesty, keeping their word. However, in real life in india at present only frauds flourish and the government agencies also continue to reward frauds with monthly government salaries for telling fake stories, falsely claiming to own this and other websites, that they are doing writing work
Kindly note that raw/cbi/indian government employees and their associates like greedy goan bhandari scammers tago bull dog owning slim sunaina,pooja,priya, tejas chodan, siddhi mandrekar,greedy goan gsb housewife EXTORTIONIST robber riddhi nayak caro, kolhapur/panaji sindhi scammer school dropout naina premchandani who looks like actress sneha wagh, her scammer sons karan,pune axe bank manager nikhil, bengaluru brahmin cheater housewife nayanshree,indore robber housewife bespectacled deepika/veena, gurgaon haryana scammer mba hr ruchika kinge, stock trader amita patel are not associated with the blog in any way, since they do not spend any time reading, writing, refuse to pay the domain renewal fees, yet make fake claims after stealing data, in a financial fraud, cybercrime, government SLAVERY beating Anthony Levandowski’s data theft from Google to get very good government salaries at the expense of the real domain investor, reviewer who is making great financial losses because of the online, financial fraud, correspondence theft.
