Tantri The Mantri 2

Anant Pai's "Tantri The Mantri - 2" from Tinkle features twenty-five engaging short stories, with one of the central characters being Raja Hooja. Despite his amiable and simple-minded demeanor, the king is deeply passionate about one thing - food, especially the sweet treat of ladoo. Tantri, one of the king's trusted ministers, is the primary character of the story. He is the one who oversees the kingdom's affairs and has earned the trust of the king. However, Tantri holds a secret ambition to overthrow the king and take his place on the throne. Despite his numerous attempts to do so, luck is always on the king's side, and Tantri often ends up injuring himself in the process. For instance, his plan to bring down the chandelier on the king backfires, resulting in it falling on his own head instead.
