A delightfully long story with a mix of magic and reality. Bolu speaks when he walks. When not walking, he becomes quiet.

Vinod ji constructs a comprehensive world. He constructs his own language. When you read him, you will feel as if you are listening for the first time. As it is said in this manner for the first time. Illustrator Taposhi Ghoshal fills the magical reality with magic.
