□□□□□□: The story starts with twelve-year-old Ankido Gulzar waking up to new words in his mind. The most beautiful thing in this story is that it deals with the book written by his grandmother which relates to the faraway land and it was relishing to acknowledge the events in the way the author has narrated more magically drives us till the end as the curiosity keeps us alive. What made him do such an act? Will his grandmother forgive him? Can his granny find Ankido’s father? But then what happens to the book? Ankido threw that exceptional book into the fireplace. His granny gives him a present of red velvet box quill. We come to acknowledge that his grandmother is a good fantasy writer, and she hands over the special novel to her grandson. Then we come to know that Ankido's father is an archaeologist and had gone for a field trip to Iraq, and later no one seems to know his whereabouts. I have fallen for the author's writing style and the choice of words which is quite similar to Ankido and Habubti trait who fell in love with words. Habubti, his grandmother looks at the picture which was present in the mantelpiece and reminisces the good old memory of Ankido and his father. From this, we can discern what he likes to write. He searches for the note but he couldn't find one and so he starts to scribble in his forearm. The author begins the story with the protagonist Ankido, getting awakened in the November morning.
