Chennai: English essayist Charles Lamb wasn't a writer until he was over 40 years old but eight-year-old Raja Monsingh is already an author and Pizza, Paisa and Peace is all about the musings of this child.
Raja is like any other child who loves to fiddle around with the TV remote and is crazy about cartoon films, but unlike other children his age, this Class II student is already an author, perhaps the youngest in India.
And this is what he chose to base his first book on. "Ideas and some funny pictures and also some cartoons,” says Raja.
But that's not all in Pizza, Paisa and Peace, Raja also gives his views on serious issues like marriage and value systems.
It's not just books, Raja is also good at painting and piano but it was his musings that got everyone hooked. And his Psychiatrist mom thought it a good idea to encourage her philosophical son to write a book on his ramblings.
“He started to speak in full sentences when he was three and he always spoke like a philosopher,” says Raja’s mother Subha Charles.
A simple book with simple fundas of an eight-year-old. It might not be educative or informative but it might just be a way to see the world through the eyes of a child.
