Dear Ratnakar, Thank you for reading, liking and comprehending so well the inner thoughts. Am indebted to you for all this and also for the fact that you add to the number of poets this world has. I know how rapidly dwindling are their scarce numbers. Best Wishes!

Extremely thoughtful comment on our approach to the presence of mendicants and so called holy men who have remained an integral part of the society. The narrative is awesomely gripping. The element of suspense sustains readers' interest. Thanks, Dear Poet.
