A father, teacher, personal counsellor, sometime journalist and reader, I keep reflecting on the world's pageantry, magic, comicality and pain...

Hello Sir, enjoyed the story telling very much. Wish I had a teacher to read out or narrate stories with this sort of engagement in my formative years.
The story shows how a perfectly enjoyable story can be crafted without taking technical details (for example, is the royal jelly produced by bees compatible to this extent with human biology?) too seriously. A lot of contemporary fiction, which borrows from science, aspires to be ultra-realistic (thereby diminishing the 'fictional' value) I think.
What's the mistake though? 'She is our daughter too,' in place of 'my daughter'?
So that's two mistakes actually, Manoshij, yes :) The other was that I repeatedly mixed up Ludlow and Wadlow. But anyway, not very many people seem to have noticed it.
As for something being compatible or otherwise with human biology, I don't think that is stretching a point too far. Imagine the incredible variety of animal products we ingest as either food or medicine!
I heard your story and it reminded of those days when you would narrate us the "AS YOU LIKE IT". Hearing you and seeing you after so many days was an absolute delight.
Hope to see more such story telling sessions from you.

Great. I followed Pupu on instagram. So nice to see her.

Dear Sir,
I hope you are doing well.

Thank you, Sriparna and Soumya. Why is blogger showing both of you as 'unknown'?
