Book Review : Gurukul to Gurukool


The book "Gurukul to Gurukool", by Manjula Rao B is one of the phenomenal books of all time teenager story. When I started reading the book I thought it would lead to some heroic end of the woman who left corporate job to be a teacher. But it was more than that. It ended with heroism of the teacher yet the story took several twists and turns. Beginning from that teacher's friend circle it ended with her student's glory. It appeared like any other teenage story yet I must say the way writer has presented different scenes like a woman moving from city life to small town teacher life who later settled in that small town with a guy, a guy fell in love with a girl who did not care for him turned to be the couple in the end of the story, and the best part was the unexpected reunion of the main characters of the story. How a footballer, crickter, athlete, widow (tennis player), doctor and IT firm co-founder alumni joined hands to save their school even after the decade of their passing out of their Alma Matar.


I would recommend this book to the beginners looking for an amusing story book of teenage life leading to rising responsibilities and understanding the virtue of giving.

  What do the kids like the most?  Toys? Games? Cartoons? Or is it a surprise gift? No, the above things are materialistic. Though they are kids, they understand better than adults about the essence of love. The thing they like the most is your time. They love when you play with them. For kids, there is no age limit to do something coming within their reach. So, for them, adults can involve in their games too. I have several nephews and nieces with whom I play whenever I meet them. I will tell you an incident. Once, I went to my cousin's place. There are two kids in the house. As I reached there, they were ready with ideas for games that we could play together. I remember how the younger one cried when she lost the game, and to soothe her, I had to accept my defeat. I could imagine that crooked smile on her face. During that visit, I realized kids love when they get involved with adults.  Everybody loves rewards. And for kids, it becomes easy because they only wish that y...
