There are Ahirani kid stories - folk tales in the book entitled, 'Ahiranit Aiklelya Katha'. Since my childhood, I have got a big collection of folk tales. They have been told to me by my relatives such as grandmother, mother, father and elder sisters. I have also been quite fond of reading since my childhood. During my struggle with life, I learnt a lot even out of formal school.
