Indian Grandpa's Tales Ram Charan Sarma

'Indian Grandpa's Tales' is a children story book consisting ten folktales. The author has tried to depict the Indian society and its age old traditional cultures through these stories. The Indian grandparents use to tell stories with good moral lessons to their grandchildren. In these stories too, the touch of these folklores can be seen. In 'The Story Of The Black Magician', the land of black magic, Mayong of North-East India finds its place. Perhaps the future generations will remain unaware of the lost but amazing cultures of the ancient India. Though it is very much like children folktale book, but it reveals much about life and culture of the greater Indian society of Vedic era. There are some hidden lessons in each of the stories. It is all about the forgotten or you may say the lost relationship of Grandpa and Grandchildren. The 'Ulta Danga's Story is funny and inspirational. On the other hand, 'The Story Of A Flock Of Vultures' gives us a scope to rethink about life and nature. Hope that the kids will find it funny, inspiring, teens will enjoy the lessons and the adults will get back their lost childhood days through the pages of 'Indian Grandpa's Tales'.
