Review-this is an exciting tale of bravery,cleverness and hidden treasure.

The Old Man and His God is a delightful collection of short real-life anecdotes compiled by Sudha Murty during her travels and work across India. As a philanthropist and chairperson of Infosys Foundation, Murty comes across people from all walks of life—and it's their voices that echo through these pages.

The stories are simple yet powerful, told in a warm and conversational tone. They reflect the values, emotions, and everyday struggles of ordinary Indians. Through tales of generosity, greed, wisdom, and kindness, Murty captures the rich human spirit that thrives even in poverty and hardship.

The title story, The Old Man and His God, is especially touching. It speaks of contentment and faith, encapsulated in the life of an elderly couple who find joy in small things. Throughout the book, the author doesn't just narrate experiences; she reflects on them, prompting readers to question their own values and judgments.

What makes this book stand out is its honesty and accessibility. It doesn't preach, but gently nudges the reader to think deeply about human nature, social inequalities, and the quiet dignity of those often overlooked.

Author-Fausto Arya De Santis

"Dreaming Under the Same Sky" is a beautiful and touching book. It is full of poems and short pieces that talk about love, hope, peace, and being connected to people all over the world. The author, Fausto Arya De Santis, writes in a way that feels emotional and real.

The book talks about important topics like where we come from, how we feel inside, and how we can still feel close to others even if we are far apart. The words are simple but powerful. Many readers can see themselves in the poems.

Review- This story about the trust. One should not blindly trust strangers, specially if they are flattering or offering something that seems too good to be true.

In the book there was a girl named,Puchku who loved to read books. One day she ran out of books, she had read all the books that she could reach in the bookshelf.

She tried to climb up the bookshelf but fell. Then the tall librarian came to help her.

I learnt that books are interesting and we should try to have a reading habit.

The book was interesting and funny. Pictures made the book alive. I loved it so much that felt like reading it thousand times.

In this world, nothing is normal. Alice meets many interesting and silly characters like the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts.

dog days is a hilarious and enjoyable book from the series, Diary of a wimpy kid.

It has a boy named greg, who falls into trouble often because of his mischief and has a very bright mom who comes up with ideas that greg doesnt like. His brother, Rodrick, is a sleepyhead, like his brother often describes him in books. If you like reading funny books i would recommend this book to you.
