Raoul Eshelman writes about m k harikumar's aphorisoms


M.K. Harikumar’s aphorisms reveal him
to be a keen and critical observer of the
human condition as well
as a resourceful thinker who grapples
with both quotidian and eternal problems.
His skepticism towards many aspects of
contemporary civilization is counterbalanced
by a quest for spiritual values in nature
and in human life itself. In his striving to think outside
the bounds of convention,
he makes us aware of forces
larger than ourselves.
