Super Brat and Other Stories is a delightful collection of stories reminiscent of R.K. Narayan and Swami.
The reader enters the warm and familiar world of the South Indian home, awash with the wafting smells of sambar, the gentle sounds of the Veena, the incense of the pooja room and the comforting presence of Amma. It is a safe and secure world, from where it is easy to cope with the problems of school, sibling insecurities and the world turning modern just outside the door. Even the dentist seems less sinister and ambitions more attainable as they spring out of the TV screen in the form of a film director, the Prime Minister, the President of the Dentists Association, a Carnatic Musician and the producer of a 13-part TV serial
