Been quite a hit with all of them. One time I took a friend to Sutradhar and showed her the book, she was so taken with it that between her and me we bought all the ten copies they had!<br /><br />My only crib is this- it is rather difficult to get it at regular bookshops, someone somewhere needs to do something about this..Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-37244478070539233832011-11-13T21:25:43.354-08:002011-11-13T21:25:43.354-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-62920327154782554692011-11-13T20:54:29.219-08:002011-11-13T20:54:29.219-08:00Lovely, Art and Samhita.Lovely, Art and Samhita.Tulika Publishershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698951517977816023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-25288009493312342812011-11-13T20:30:29.877-08:002011-11-13T20:30:29.877-08:00A delightful interview

A does much the same, filling them with whatever she loves to write.<br /><br />I found this version of the Mahabharatha around the time A was 5, and I had run out of stories from the epic to tell her at bedtime. Somehow I found it difficult to distill the stories into something digestible for a child. Samhita's book was a life saver, though even with it I found myself picking and choosing what I could read out to A. Of course we have read all of it now.<br /><br />So when we came to know that Samhita was going to be there for a book launch of a collection of stories in which one of hers featuresd, at Crossword, we HAD to go and meet her. Of course we had never seen a picture of her, so we didn't know who she was among all those writers gathered there. By an odd co-incidence, the lady we asked for Samhita, was Samhita herself. She was so sweet and spoke to A without any 'talking down', and readily signed our copy that we had carried with us. A was thrilled.<br /><br />She has been a big influence on A. Thanks, Art, for bringing her to ST.sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654489216158421654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-54433345881276244732011-11-13T18:47:56.496-08:002011-11-13T18:47:56.496-08:00"boredom was important".
