You won't believe how much some of them really are!
But a great thing is in my 'Jatayu' page, there are also plenty of Indian people (mostly Bengali) also joining in. It's a rare treat to see people from different parts of India & Bangladesh are joining the page & appreciating this effort. All kudos goes to great Ray...for his brilliant creations.

Haven't read much of Ray's works but his Professor Shonku tales were very popular during my school days. Almost all of my Ray exposure comes from films - his Pather Panchali (and subsequent Apu films) are a dear favorite of my parents, mother preferring Aparajito over the first one.
Oh, man! I still love to read Shonku stories again & again. Wish there will be a kickass animated series/films one day.
