Basheer-Balayakalasakhi  (Paperback, Malayalam, VAIKOM MUHAMMAD BASHEER)

Balyakalasakhi { meaning childhood companion), is a Malayalam romantic tragedy novel written by Vaikom Muhammad Basheer. Published in 1944, it is considered by many as Basheer's best work. The story revolves around Majeed and Suhra, who are in love with each other from childhood. By Basheer's own admission, the story is largely autobiographical.
