ದ್ರೌಣಿ (ತೆಮಿ ಬರೆದ ಪೌರಾಣಿಕ ರೋಮಾಂಚಕ ಕಾದಂಬರಿ)

My friend Theri Miranda has been a writer for many years, I've known that. We've used Miranda in discussions and story developments for many telefilms and short films produced by our organization. Miranda, a detective by profession, has a vast world of experience. His reading range is also extensive. So when he said he had written a novel, I read it with great curiosity. I liked it.

Miranda has mastered the finesse of an experienced writer in his use of language. He has also learned the narrative technique of creating many twists and turns in the narration, keeping the reader engaged in the story's world. As the novel progresses, he has also developed the ability to narrate the story in such a way that it becomes a picture before the viewer.

For all these reasons, the novel "Drauni" that you now hold will be a good read and will open up a world of experience you never knew existed. I believe that this method of unfolding the narrative, placing contemporary life on par with many details of mythology, will engage every reader and inspire them to read Miranda's new writings again and again.

I wish that Themi Miranda, based on his experience with his first novel, continues to introduce such new worlds to Kannada readers.
