The Monkey and the Pearls (Unabridged‪)‬

This story is a gem representing the delightful stories from the Indian subcontinent which capture the simple essence of everyday life in rural and urban India. The simple pleasures of life indicate a time gone by before the advent of cellphones and Facebook, a time which almost stood still, a time where children could revel in the rain, make paper boats and race them down a drain, play marbles, and generally pass time.

The once idyllic life almost seems too slow and bear and hence is fascinating to watch unfurl as we listen to the story.
