Goat Days

By: Benyamin

Narrated by: Sankalp Ratogi

Najeeb s dearest wish is to work in the Gulf and earn enough money to send back home. He achieves his dream only to be propelled by a series of incidents, grim and absurd, into a slave-like existence herding goats in the middle of the Saudi desert. Memories of the lush, verdant landscape of his village and of his loving family haunt Najeeb whose only solace is the companionship of goats. In the end, the lonely young man contrives a hazardous scheme to escape his desert prison. Goat Days was published to acclaim in Malayalam and became a bestseller. One of the brilliant new talents of Malayalam literature, Benyamin s wry and tender telling transforms this strange and bitter comedy of Najeeb s life in the desert into a universal tale of loneliness and alienation.

A must listen story

This story made me laugh, cry but mostly thank Allah for the blessings in my life. Beautiful story that will touch your ♥

Loved it!

I had tears …such a moving narration of a story that tugs do hard at your heartstrings

The Narrator was horrible.

Such an amazing survival story but the narration was just horrendous. I should have just bought the book and read it.
