Once in a rare while you come across a book and a movie which are as good as each other...this is one of them. The book comes alive in the movie. It's also wonderful to see children depicted as children and not as mini-adults. R K Narayan and Bill Watterson have this gift, too. And why did you keep the DVD only for 3 months?! The book and the movie still have the power to bring tears to my eyes. After this, the next time I felt like this was when I finished "The Remains of the Day". That was powerful writing too. Deepa.
