This was such a good read, Savvy. Brings out all the joy of learning a new language. I hope to read a similar piece on Bengali if possible :)

Malayali penneeeee....Kalakki! .One of your best!! Kidilan ezhuthalle!

How can I not stop laughing reading each line in this piece. Loved 'Wanda' :))) By the way, completely agree with your thoughts on Mathrubhumi books. Seller has knowledge on almost all books and he guides so well basis our choice.
