Dear
Reader,
Living as I did for about three decades and a half amidst the blooming buds and
up-coming emotional floods, I found that they are bereft of adequate
understanding of their own culture that taught the divinities many a lesson on
Ethics once. A sad state! Sadder it is, in the case of ill-educated, west crazy
elite of our modern society; and horror greets us with regard to the pampered
children of the affluent, deliberately resorting to hold up to ridicule those
who practise or show preference t them. I don't mean all, by the way.
With
a view to highlighting certain basic concepts embodying ennobling precepts, for
the benefit or such pathetic lot, I brought out a dook in prose under the
title, MIGHTY ATOMS FOR TINY TOTS, and it was serialised in YUVA BHARATI for
about a year; and later another, tiled THE GREAT LITTLE ACTS was attempted, but
only a few sections have seen the light of the day; Yet my inexhaustible urge
sought new outlets result; a third one in verse.
Though
my forte lies in prose. I purposely perfered this for it manifold advantages
over prose. As a first measure, it eliminate; prolixity and installs brevity, a
great advantage it claims, nay proclaims in tone loud. Episodes, concepts, or
fables can be cut, or confined to one or two pages in print.
