Publisher's Synopsis
Batatawadai Puram is a small, isolated (imaginary) village located in the famous Sahyadri Mountains. Outwardly, though it appears to be an ordinary village, it can boast of all the facilities enjoyed by the residents of the biggest and best cities in India. Join the adventures of Guru, Sri, Nath and Tina, four teens living in Batatawadai Puram, who seem to attract trouble wherever they go. Accompanied by their various friends, elders and teachers, they boldly face daunting obstacles like great environmental disasters, terrorists, and even aliens. They are unwillingly transported to Mars and have to survive the harsh conditions there. However, their intelligence, wit and a bit of luck help them overcome all the obstacles in their path. The poems in this book are intended to be gentle wake up calls to all those humans, who have forgotten their responsibility towards our planet in their quest for luxury, comforts and extreme wealth. Humankind, have forgotten the basic tenets of humanity and are turning this beautiful planet into one big trash bin. Humans have forgotten that we share this magnificent planet with millions of other species and it is as much theirs, as it is ours.
