Tumhaare Baare Mein is an unconventional piece of work.
I have read Kaul’s work earlier, but this one is written differently. It is a collection of memories, thoughts, fiction, non- fiction … anything that evokes emotions. The writing is lucid. You can pick up a random episode and read about his travels or his thoughts in solitude. There is a lot to learn about life from his writing. Even in his earlier work, I used to make note of the various authors he would talk about. Then I would somewhere come across a book or an author that I have also read, and then in my joy of finding something common, I would read that one page several times.
Although, without a doubt, his writing is enjoyable, but there is something more than words that appeals to the reader. There is a certain quality to his thoughts that touches you, it makes you pause, think, look around, look inwards.. It changes you and the way you experience the world. This book is not read, it is experienced.
