Books That Speak

Gulli-danda is the king of all games, is simple with no rules or bets or bats or nets. Steeped in the rural scene of India, it is free of any division and discrimination. As the narrator comes back to his hometown as an established engineer, yearning for a game of gulli-danda, somehow his status and wealth has crept up between him and his childhood friends from the village, taking away the wild essence and freedom from his beloved gulli-danda.

The younger brother plays in gardens and enjoys doing what he likes. The elder brother takes every chance to criticize his younger brother for not studying. The younger brother still keeps playing outdoors. What follows is a timeless tale of following one's own heart despite those that only ridicule and demotivate.
