My Thoughts:

                The plot was really interesting and eye opening. I liked how the author has brought to the forefront how disastrous it is to interfere with nature. Through this story we get to see how some people just to stay in power can go to any extent without even thinking about others and the effects of it on everybody.

                The characters are well developed and I especially liked the character of the monk and the white tiger. Bhikku always has enlightening to say about life and he makes others .see through that perspective. It was pretty impressive to see the connection that is shared between Bhikku and the white tiger.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is nicely done. The book cover and the title of the book is also apt to the plot.

                Overall, it was an eye opening read.

Rating: 4/5

This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people.

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
