Praise and Reviews

The story line is very simple. But the characterization of the players in the drama is sophisticated. Each character shows how some deficiency in him is compensated by proficiency in some other aspect. The paralytic who cannot speak but can write poems of poignancy; the child who cannot run because of polio, but who can soar to the skies in imagining the milky way. Life situations are portrayed purposefully. We can see how a man of essential kindness is unable to bring up an orphan in his own home but has to support him from outside because his wife does not share his concerns. The poems spontaneously blossom out of the prose adding colour to the narration. The exploration of outer space is intertwined with the discovery of the life within the mind of the explorer. - Justice Rangarajan (Retd), Andhra Pradesh High Court
