The very words of Ratna is so soothing that you are lost in a totally different world where our very own life looks so easy and simple to live. Nothing is mysterious and there exists a transparency in every thing around us. Even though the words of Rathna is humor filled but has a lot of insight than any great epics written in the history of mankind.
I had great love for Ratna and had a chance to meet him at Ranga shankara. There was a lovely play named Ratnan Parpancha
Yes i am talking about the one and only G.P.Raja Ratnam alias Ratna (precious stone). I guess his writing is so humorous and fresh that any one will fall in love with him. The very thing i liked in him is that he proved that you can deliver the message from any one and in any way if you know exactly what you want to say.
He has portrayed the character "Ratna" so good in his works that he lives in your heart for ever, you may forget your lover but not Ratna :).
His collection named "Rathnana Padagalu" is far better than any other books which tells us how to live. All his words are uttered by a drunkard named "Ratna" and his words are gospels. It basically introduces you to the "Art of living".
Lot of people go around the world seeking peace and enlightenment but i personally felt him to be an enlightenment man and his writing takes you there if you really read them casually not seriously :).
Just a sample of his song adapted in a Kannada movie ....
