Birds That Fly Ahead: novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511898324)

C. Radhakrishnan is one of the most reputed living writers of Malayalam. A scientist-turned writer, he has contributed to all branches of creative literature, mostly fiction, besides popular science. He is widely read and well recognized. He was given the Kerala Sahitya Akademi's Annual Award for the Best Book Published in Malayalam during the year 1962 at the young age of 23, a record that stays. And the latest feather in his cap is the Murtidevi Award of the Bharatiya Gnanapith Trust for the best creative work in Indian languages. His works, deceptively simple and eminently readable, have been assessed to be creative contributions to the science-philosophy dialogue. He has done a commentary on Bhagavat Gita (Geetha Darshanam) critically approaching yogavidya in the light of modern science and, at he same time, also evaluating modern science vis-à-vis yogavidya. He helped launch and establish Science Toady (Times of India), the first popular science magazine of India, at a young age of 24, and later held senior positions with national print media organs. He is a filmmaker too - two of his four creations form part of the Indian Panorama of Feature Films. His forays into astrophysics have enabled him to suggest a fresh physical model for the universe.
