About a novel and the name

Granted : I am an inmate of a mental institution.My keeper is watching me,she never lets me out of her sight;There is a peep-hole in the door and my keepers eye is the shade of Brown that can never see through a blue eyed type like me

Gunter Grass
The Tin Drum

I remember reading this book,I was studying in 10th standard,It was somewhere in the middle of Feb,where the valley gets hot.Back then I was not allowed to watch tv,or any other sort of stuff my parents believed are so wrong for child development.The luxury I had is using the library and my parents private collection of books.( And playing football and cricket with local boys, when they are out)

So I found this book from the New arrivals, since the exams were about to start,I couldn't read any other books other than text books.So I hided it my school bag and started reading it on the kitchen floor of our newly constructing house.It had a window where I could see the nilgiris.I always wanted to see the world beyond that..

Now, fifteen years after that,his words are significant than ever..looking out the window there are lot of brown eyes,And they can never see through a blue eyed girl like me!
