The article could do with some proof reading. Small I for capital I, roll model for role model are very irritating. The essay, `The creed of an elephant in the court was published in Everyman's Review, not `The Hindu'. Alliance Publishers have brought out his essays, short stories and novels again. They have also published essays and Novels of Devan. See here: http://www.alliancebook.com/
