I received a very encouraging book review from Shri Narayanan, Trustee, Sri Subramania Seva Trust, Ayikudi, Tirunelveli District. I reproduce the review below:
QUOTE:-
Short Stories for Success for Young Readers: A New
Lexicon Unfolded Authored by T.N. Neelakantan, M.Sc.
The author is eminently qualified to write the Title, for
he knows the pulse of the youth. He has had and
continues to have a number of occasions to interact with
the student community during the course of the Courses he
conducts for their benefit on Personality Development,
Know Your Country, Communication Skills, Spoken English,
General Knowledge, and Quiz Programmes.
The author has in his ‘Author’s Note’ acknowledges what
influenced him to come out with the present publication.
As he says his source of inspiration has been Avvayar
besides promptings from Ms. Geetha, a teacher in a Higher
Secondary School. The Lexicon that he has patterned
representing each English alphabet is unique. That he has
drawn copiously from our Epics, from the teachings of our
Great Saints and personalities who have made a mark in
their lives shows he knows what needs to be dished out to
the present-day youth to make them responsible citizens.
His work is unique because each letter with a
corresponding word is pregnant with meaning and moral
values, the values enunciated and followed by eminent
personalities. Again, the known sources make for easy
absorption and adoption. The language couched in simple
English makes for easy reading and comprehension. That
the Lessons revolve round Kamala Teacher and her band of
students vouch for the importance the author attaches to
the relation of teacher and the taught. The author has
indeed adopted an innovative way to carry the reader
along.
The Lexicon will prove an asset to the student community
and teachers alike. We recommend it to one and all for
it contains Gospel Truths, a true Guide to one and all in
the present-day world where materialism rules the roost.
Anyone who acquires and lives up to the 26 traits so well
brought out in the text will reap rich rewards in one’s
life and will make a mark in all their pursuits.
We congratulate the author on his excellent work. He has
divided it into 26 Lessons—we prefer to call them so for
they are indeed lessons to guide us to the path of glory-
- with Author’s Note, Prologue and Epilogue, all running
to 90 pages and priced at Rs.100/- The author can be
reached on his email: neelkant16@yahoo.com and web site:
