Tiya: A Parrot’s Journey Home by Samarpan
Rating: 2/5
Finally, a book which I am not giving a 5-star, but it isn’t a good thing. A low rating book feels like money and time wasted, in this case at least partially.
It’s not a bad book. In fact, there are many fragments to learn something from. It starts nicely enough, peppered with good humour. It has a charm of Panchatantra stories – at least, in the beginning. However, in the second section, it quickly tumbles down to a boring repetitiveness. And, then comes too much “gyaan” packed as Tiya progresses. In fact, if have your own opinions and perspective towards life, you won’t be agreeing so readily to many of the knowledge or wisdom imparted here. The last two sections I just skimmed through because it got too heavy a wisdom book to handle, it didn’t feel like a story anymore.
There is too much wisdom crammed in some 100+ pages, and as the saying goes, “too much of anything is not good”, read this book at your own risk. ?
