  • I know not when u had posted this but it is possible to bet the book

  • I had been very badly trying to own this novel for last so many years. When I was a student in 6th std in Kerala, I was awarded this novel for Best Student in the year 1980 and had read its Malayalam translation so many times. Unfortunately I lost the novel in my numerous transfers during my IAF tenure. I really like to own this novel again in my life either in English or Malayalam version. I dont know how to get it……….. i love it… and miss it…
