In my opinion, even if common people never get to write autobiographies their stories will still be found in the pages of hindi writing. This is written for generations that are older than me by atleast 20-30 years. It is an insight into their life and thoughts as they go through life alone with their partner, have kids, make them what they are today, help them stand up on their on two feet and watch them leave their nest, thus eventually ending up all alone again. This is a beautiful piece of writing that makes me a little sad. My generation is just the arrogant and ungrateful one in these books and I can understand where the older generations are coming from. I missed my grandfather and grandmother so much while reading this book. I wish we could have read more books together.
