Haridwaril Manikal Muzhangunnu by M. MukundanMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Donno what to say after reading it. To be frank, I am always pessimistic regarding works which concentrates on pilgrim sites, some geographical unit which has some supernatural or transcendental significance. The same pattern can be seen in this novel as well, somewhat similar to O.V. Vijayan's Gurusagaram or so. Then, I just thought it is something like a recipe that we usually see in cookery shows; one teaspoon of salt, ... and so on. If you read carefully, it will be like, "some bhang or any other narcotics, some Sanskrit slokas, some puranas, and a girl, probably a lover with a sexual nature, and a hero who is not worldly- getting pleasures from sex, liquor, cigars and all. He has very good knowledge in puranas, and the Sanatana Dharma, but initially looks at those with a suspicious eye, but later finds solace in it.
