The Reason The Mulla went to see a rich man. ‘Give me some money.’ ‘Why?’ ‘I want to buy… an elephant.’ ‘If you have no money, you can’t afford to keep an elephant.’ ‘I came here’, said Nasrudin, ‘to get money, not advice.’ – Idries Shah, The Pleasantries of the Incredible Mulla Nasrudin

The Firebird ~ Saikat Majumdar

The Firebird ~ Saikat Majumdar

Majumdar writes with great sensitivity- delving deep into the young lad’s mind, drawing from both the light and the dark that exist in tandem within. Ori senses the resentment his mother’s stage life provokes in others around him, the family and neighbours.
