The Town that laughed by Manu bhattathiri is a pretty decent book. Really liked his narration. I really liked the characters especially the yemaan and Joby. Good work.
Planning to write a long review soon.

My dear friend, tell me this: who knows a rose better—the scientist who takes each petal apart to study it, or the poet who looks at the whole thing with passion and sings about it?‘‘‘" (from "The Town That Laughed" by Manu Bhattathiri)

After all, aren‘t all our battles the direct result of that One Mind going on a rampage and not listening to the feeble voice of reason coming from individuals who are in the minority?" (from "The Town That Laughed" by Manu Bhattathiri)

"‘Kimivahi madhuraanaam mandanam naakriteenaam?‘ he enquired, before translating: ‘What, pray, is not ornamental upon a beautiful form? Anything, anything, will only add to the beauty of one whom nature has endowed with a magnificent form." (from "The Town That Laughed" by Manu Bhattathiri)

Reading this now. This is set in the backdrop of a small town in South India. Pretty interesting!!!
