Jai Shree SiaRamChandra ki .. Jai !!!

Ahh .. never thought I would be able to post this so soon .. after some dedicated reading for good 4-5 (may be even 6) months .. after office .. on weekends.. at odd times even through the nights ... after spending a good share of hard-earned money on something totally as worth as this .... I have completed reading six volumes of Ashok K. Banker's Ramayana retelling .. and have come to love it! I just finished the sixth and last book few minutes back and rushed here just to type these few lines .. this is not as much an interesting post for you as important a note it is for me and I wanted to mark it well ... because of the sheer volume of text that AKB's Ramayana spans, you almost long to see yourself through to the last page .. not because of compulsion, because of excitement and joy and pure wonder of reading something truly genuine, wonderful and something so related to the very basic indian element within you .. it calls out to you and you helplessly follow it till the end ... truly, it has given me great satisfaction today ..

I will keep writing more about Rama, AKB's Rama, my Rama, the Ramayana and the AKB's Ramayana through a series (I hope) of following posts .. but I wanted to make sure that I put this one first ... so ...

For some of you who are even little interested in finding out about AKB and his Ramayana retelling, please click on the above mentioned link .... even better ... do read the books .. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS ONE ... one of the best read that you can lay hands on .. ever ...

Jai Shri Ram !!
