Life of pie

Some books haunt us long after they are read and this book is one of them. The book started as an ordinary book. It brought back memories from reading, “A tiger for Malgudi” 

It’s amazing how this book converts itself from an ordinary tale to a mind boggling piece of work at the end. I was fascinated by the first half where he describes his childhood in India and the incidents he encounters after the shipwreck but the ending came as a bolt from the blue and I still can’t get over it. 

It made me ask the question, would you be the pray at the face of death or would you awaken the Bengali tiger in you?
