    Not another retelling of Ramayana ! was my first retort and no guesses that it will be what most of you would feel/say as well. But there is a certain timelessness about the great Epic, about the nobleness of a man - who lived by the sacred code and over the passage of time has captured the essence of Indian land, glorifying all that makes an ideal hero - a warrior inimitable, a devote son, a loving husband, a great friend, a noble King and for that - generations of poets have sung his praise. Between Valmiki and Kamban there could be no greater canvas to paint his life. Why then another book on him ? Ravi has taken on this very question head on and designed an algorithm that answers it in every page. Trying to explain the occurrences in the great epic from a first person account, not just any first person account - but from the Protagonist Rama himself and the result is a gripping mix of Spielberg and Stephen Hawkings trying to match their intellect to explain the mysterious occurances in a time and technology long forgotten. Ravi's work will not replace or even attempt to compete with the masters before him, but tries to give the epic a face to the future !! " More info: http://www.i-rama.com
