Summary of Suvira written by Paro Anand
Answers
Even though I am a grown woman a school girl still resides in me somewhere. It is wonderful to get into a child’s head and see how they view the world and hope some of the innocence rubs off on me. So years ago when I spotted Paro Anand’s School Days in the book fair I naturally pounced on it. It was a tattered old copy but all the pages were there. I know I have come a long way from reading only pristine undamaged books (read new books). What can I say poverty teaches you many things.
It has eight not so short stories with different settings and situations. They are guaranteed to make both children and adults laugh. Your attention won’t waver even once (unless you aren’t a reader) as the stories are delightfully crisp

IN THIS STORY THE NARRATOR IS THE PERSON WHO IS NARRATING THE STORY (TOLD IN FIRST PERSON) AND SUVIRA IS ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORY .THIS STORY TELLS ABOUT HER COURAGE AND DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED WON HER THE ACCEPTANCE AND RECOGNITION FROM HER NEW SCHOOLMATES .I (NARRATOR) CAME TO DELHI MID TERM FROM KOLKATA BECAUSE HER FATHER HAD RESIGNED FROM JOB AND DECIDED TO CHANGE HIS CAREER, SO THEY CAME TO DELHI.

THE CROWD WENT WILD BUT SOME WERE NOW ALSO HEARD ASKING THE NAME OF THE NEW GIRL (NARRATOR). BOTH THE NARRATOR AND SUVIRA WERE STANDING ON THE TOP STEP OF THE VICTORY STAND .BOTH PRAISED EACH OTHER AND JOINED HANDS AND RAISED THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHEERING OF THEIR SCHOOL.
