Why this book? I had read this short story by Sudha Murthy “how I taught my grandmother to read” in my school and was appalled by the simplicity and the subtleness of the book.

What is human nature and how do young people overcome or accept it? This is the question that T. Boyle’s “Greasy Lake” asks.

Rikki-tikki is an audacious and inquisitive character in this story.

However, the novel pointedly refrains from advocating any single religious faith over another. Instead, the novel investigates the nature of religious faith itself. This theme is embodied most clearly in the novel’s protagonist, Pi Patel, who is a devout follower of three very different religions.
