REVELATION aims at regaling the tale of power, prestige and status. It is a thrilling life account of a man known by name Undier. Born to a lower-middle- class family, he opted for the tricky business. The assessment of the profession of Undier is by the imaginative standard of morality in the political life of the man the author has conceived in the fiction. The modus operandi adopted in winning or retaining the support of the people howsoever repugnant gets downplayed by the electorate as long as the resolve of the politician - having no familial attachments - to render services to the masses remains personalised to him -- a witty account on the political game flexed with ploys, pounds and punches.

PARODY pinpoints the temperament of the two principal characters, namely Jim and Joe of the novel, right from the cradle to the grave. Highlighting the science of the birth of human race from every evolutionary aspect, it whispers the deepest ocean of imagination of the traveler from the birth of man to his need of food, cloth, shelter, family, society and government; coupled with the raw to boiled foot eating habits. Some issues in the chapters are sternly dealt with the need of circumstance, others are humanly presented. A witty presentation!

Trial and Errors exposes the extent to which some shady activities parlay into the various day-to-day transactional businesses of the human race on the pretext of being malleable, as something of the novelty of a Good Samaritan. It perches as if it were sighing a relief on the exposition of the malfeasance while juxtaposing the wistful resolution. It is a well-crafted salacious story on spicy works.
