PanchTantra told us that if a message is conveyed in an effective way, the recipient(s) will understood or we can say digest it properly.

"My Feathered Friends & the Book of Poems-Part 1" follows the same path. Through the interactions with birds (aka feathered friends), the protagonist conveys us some important messages quite effectively.

The protagonist is living in a metro city where the space is the most precious resource, sometimes even more important than the time! It is obvious that he/she misses the nature. However, in the rat race to earn a lot and do something “remarkable” in our life, we often forget to live it. And once you get into the cycle of incident, you are almost caught in the center of the tornado and it becomes almost impossible to break free.

The characters in this book are not quite similar to what we find in the other books. They are not humans, but the author has made sure that the characters grow gradually & deliver something interesting. The author literary skills are already explored though some of the quotes from the book, so you yourself can judge the same. There was a possibility of this book become a boring lecture, the author however prevented it.

The author and publisher both must be appreciated for showing courage to pen down and publish such a book.

Here are some of the interesting pieces of writing from the book:
That is why you people are so insecure at times because you run so much after joy, that even a little decline in it makes you uncomfortable.
--- ---
Yes, life is not always fair, but it never stops giving you chances and taking them is entirely in your hands.

Summary:
Definitely a worth reading book which follows the PanchTantra path. I found it quite pricey when I am writing this and I will recommend it to be bought during a book promotion when it is available at attractive rates.

Rating:
I would give it around 7.5 stars out of 10
