Forget-Me-Nots of Mullaperiyar

Precocious little Keepee knows no world but her tiny untamed paradise. Will her home always be the beautiful perilous jungles, the place of her birth?...... With her heart rooted in her beloved wilds like the venerable trees, will she be a frolicking forest nymph forever?............... This piece of Realistic Fiction is set in the southernmost part of India, more specifically in the enchanting forest range of Mullaperiyar, currently caught in a controversy between the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It centers around the dam site of Mullaperiyar where life was touch-and-go and humaneness was an axiom, eclipsing barriers of territory, language, religion and culture. Transcending politics and polemics, 'The Forget-Me-Nots of Mullaperiyar' is a genuine attempt at communicating with the heart of the reader and appealing to the fundamental live and let live aspect of coexistence.
