Interesting. It's a brilliant and absorbing book that would spur enthusiasm back to once deadened system brought by certain challenges in life. I may be exaggerating but this one is hard to put down.

Feluda needs no introduction nor a review. Just a couple of characters who are extremely close to my heart.

Nostalgia. I have re-read these stories dozens of times but as a Bengali, I still find them charming and exciting. Felu Mittir is not only Topshe's elder brother, he is the same for all of us.

Feluda was originally written by Satyajit Ray for the children’s magazine ‘Sandesh’. The popularity of the series was such that Ray went on to include a few adult themes in the later stories when he realized that even adults were enjoying the series.
I actually read Feluda before Agatha Christie and as such Feluda was my introduction to detective fiction. The best part of the stories is the evergreen manner of Ray’s narrative. I remember reading ‘Baadhshahi Angti’ which was written in 1960s and when I visited Lucknow in 1990s, I could still recognize the places described in the book. The other thing that I loved about the series was that in every story we learned something new – be it about geometry or about telepathy.
Absolutely and irrevocably in love with Feluda and his adventures – forever a fan.
