He is caught in between tradition and modernity the trap the Indian society binds itself today.
Ravi's 2nd novel, 'True Colors of Love' is a unique work of fiction. It is written in a 'second person narrative' which is rarely found in fiction. Also the subject matter and thematic content is controversial. TCL is about a young man romancing and fantasizing a thirteen year old girl and recounting of his obsessions and insecurities. At another level it is also a clash between romanticism and rationalism. The hero refuses to be practical and clings to his romantic ideals and eventually at the end of the story realizes that he is an enlightened romantic.
