One thing I acknowledged after a long time that, when a reader stating that he like reading a particular genre like crime, fiction, thriller or say love etc, he simply lies to his own reader's soul less knowing but more unconsciously. A Dear Ajay da,
One thing I acknowledged after a long time that, when a reader stating that he like reading a particular genre like crime, fiction, thriller or say love etc, he simply lies to his own reader's soul less knowing but more unconsciously. A true reader always ready to read a masterpiece weather he knows or not. Something similar happened to me when I'd read 'Golbetrotting for love' and other stories from Sakhalin island.

You know my growing love towards Russia, and you might've had a glimpse of my imagination to the world you created for me and other readers. Specially the story GFL the central character girl was really fascinating, in beginning I had a general view of sympathy to her which later grown to practical nature when life offers it's best to her and best part unlike Hindi movies two rather three of her lovers ended up giving a full toast to what they lived with her.( I was expecting some hot muscle struggle at some point of time ha ha ha...) but you made its simply awesome (Leaving Debashish on a suspense note :-) .

The Korean Russian boy's story was really touching this was a masterpiece when we think that how deep you are connected to the land of Russia and Sakhalin, this was never possible without immersing deepest of you into the natural seas and still evolving dry with reality not mere imagination.

The 40 year old bachelor was an inspiration form nowhere , when many people gives up and compromises at certain stage this guy was like given up forever right from childhood with literally no expectations from life and dumping his emotions and can say living other's emotions suddenly gets a spark and start a life of his own more suited to him, which gives him purpose and most needed happy purpose to his life. Amazing Ajay Dada,....Hats off to you.

The Old lady is none else than real Russia, she represents real Russian emotion and the missing family, social sentiments which were gems and jewels of Indian Russian upbringing on those which were deeply eradicated post 90's era and by so called globalization. When a simple ambassador of humanity never ever gave up her true integrity and beliefs in hardest circumstances of life other Russians and I will add Indians somewhat should never compromise with their values and roots. I am too small to write a review on this story specially, this really gave me goosebumps in the end after her moral victory. This is a masterpiece for me which I mentioned in one of the above columns.

Always want to write longer as my instinct drives me deeper to the realization of the experience your book added to my life. I try to say that your book GTL and stories from Sakhalin Island is simply superb irrespective of Space time limits as this freedom to imagine a world more connected to simple human beings living on earth. This could be well read by any literate doesn't matters he lives in Sakhalin, Russia or far west of the globe.

Thanks Ajay Kamlakaran for bringing Russia closer to me and readers many more in India.
