GURUPRASADIN KADAISI DINAM:

              A very short story, depicting the reality in Indian society, and the main causes for a man's death. the story moves along in a hour by hour manner, linear writing,sympathetic,not particularly satire,the last two dialogues were the facts inside all revolts and protest.

              Author sujatha's attempt to show reality as true as better. his another book "NAGARM" is also of  same genre.

OVERALL:

         

              its not like reading a story, its like watching someone to die, everyone can relate to the book at one point or another.

              recommended to all.
