Athagari Kathalu

This collection of stories by Bhanumathi Ramakrishna is a very refreshing read. The stories are both funny and pleasant to read. There is no trace of evil mindedness, that could be attributed to the typical "Athagaru". Bhanumathi's "athagaru" is a very pleasant lady, if only a tad too old-fashioned and orthodox.

This book also includes a few stories that do not feature the "athagaru". These are nice too. The author's writing style is colloquial and reading it makes you feel that you are watching the whole episodes right through your window.
