REVIEW FOR POTTURI SUBBARAO'S BOOK RELEASE

When was the last time you heard a sparrow's chirp? Yes, did you know sparrows were going extinct? It hurts this man a lot more than it does us, but the result is a delight.

The poems in the book have been composed on the extinction of sparrows, anti-globalisation, the Andhra Pradesh state union and Srisri's poems.
