When Bamboo Flowers

This book takes note of the emotional attachment between an octogenarian lady Ramola and her septuagenarian siblings and a cousin, which is unthinkable these days.

The book shares the experiences of Arun, a nephew of that lady, who was found to be victim of some odd circumstances and how he came out from one such nerve breaking circumstance that had almost put him behind the bar in a drug smuggling case at New York airport. This book also narrates some superstitious traits of Arun, and highlights one such trait that would have completely ruined his business with his wife Rita.

Main focus of this book remains on Rita, who was found to be a beauty with brain, with many attributes, and one such that defines her unconditional love for orphans, animals and trees. This attribute, to some extent, kept her afloat over the troubled waters of her estranged courtship with Arun, who was equally passionate about them.

This book also detects a mother in almost all the female characters here, irrespective of their ages, faiths and cultures. Society respects motherhood but ignores mother in women. Once it recognises this mother, atrocity and blackmailing on women shall stop someday.

Ego not only blinds the egoistic people but also blinds their ethics and how lethal this could be on others, this book also describes.
