ORDINARY
MR PAI by
Kalpana Swaminathan art
Phani Tetali
This
book contains two original stories, Bangles
for Bansode and Ordinary Mr Pai. These quaint, quirky
fairytales tug at the heartstrings even as they make you laugh. They
carry the reader off on a fantastic journey where anything can happen!
Bangles
for Bansode is about a mean, miserly landlord called Bansode who
rules the lives of 553 tenants of an old, tumbledown block of flats
called Africa House. It takes a young girl, confined to a wheelchair,
to teach Bansode a lesson that keeps him and his tenants smiling!
Ordinary
Mr Pai is the story of a man called Pai who lives with his parrot
in a Mumbai suburb. One morning he meets the most extraordinary
talking crow. And Mr Pai’s what-should-have-been-a-very-ordinary-day
goes for a mighty six.
