Take a stroll down the river with the author reflecting on the ways of life he has had and how it is taken for granted.  

How he lives in England and how he saw living in Sylhet, Bangladesh, al-fresco on the river bed.  

The walk challenged and changed his outlook on living and life; what excesses he had & what he takes for granted?  

Read his prejudices and ignorance in the form of poetry and reflection.

Review:

After I get any kind of book, my natural instinct is that if its wrapped around in a bundle of paper I open it, get it near my nose and take a deep breath in as if there is a strange fragrance coming from it. But unfortunately I was deprived from the smell because it was in the form of a PDF. Secondly I start skimming and scanning. While I was going through the book something caught my eyes that made me read it.

"Mud mud

won't let me go

stick to my skin and become my second skin".

I felt something in my heart that tempt me to read the whole book. Before I even started to read I noticed that the book consisted of 83 pages. As I began to read the book I felt a sudden Deja vu as if I already knew what was happening but I could never feel the concept of it. As I was reading it I was trying to match myself with the book. As I continued to read there came a part as though I could hear the ringing of rickshaws from the riverbed instead of the writer. How ridiculous we are!, We don't even have any eager to know what is going on around us. The feed of our soul is around us. Again I was noticing this through the book. The more I was reading through the book the fewer the pages started to become. When it was over I felt as if, if the book had couple of pages more my soul would have been nourished. As I finished reading, it seemed as if the book left a feeling inside me. Perhaps our famous poet Rabindranath Tagore who had written a poem which had similar feelings.

We seldom care to see the beauty at a few paces from our doorstep; a tiny dewdrop glittering on a waving stalk of rice!

Thank you for your amazing book. I hope and pray for you that you will be able to write such stupendous books for us.
