		Agastya is no pure do-gooder, but he at least is a voice against the madness.

	Review on English August - Upmanyu Chaterjee by sheermelody - MouthShut.com

		Agastya realizes that the Indian heartland consisting of its myriad villages and people is a total stranger to him, just like it is to a lot of the urban folk.

	English, August - Upamanyu Chatterjee
		Agastya is an unlikely bureaucrat, and he doesn't strain himself to fit in.
		Agastya is restless, and he does consider escape from Madna and a career in the IAS.
		Agastya's second cousin, Tonic, the publisher, who "functions as though he's paid to be a leaking balloon, emit hot air", though repeatedly skewered, is easily deflated in a single exchange, for example:

	The Hindu : "I'm not Kiran Bedi"
		Much was expected from Agastya's second coming; and, while the book is naturally doing well on the stands, its reception has been something short of rapturous.
		Agastya Sen is older now but just as shiftless; minor characters drift in and out and when you least expect them in again; there is not even the excuse of a plot, because really nothing happens except a lot of bureaucratic obfuscation.
		For instance, Agastya's lady-love Daya is an important character up to page 37, when she suddenly fades out and as suddenly reappears 331 pages later.

		Agastya and his city friends are drawn to, yet troubled by, the growing dominion of Western culture; they treat their religious and cultural traditions with nonchalance or disdain; sometimes they praise the British Raj, and sometimes they denounce it.
		While the laid-back Agastya may feel out of place in Madna, the American reader soon feels grateful for the chance to visit a world by turns so familiar and exotic (and thankful for the glossary of Indian words at the back of the book).

	UN Chronicle \| What the UN Can Do to Promote Non-formal Education
		Agastya uses non-standard approaches to transform teachers, for example, by offering modules that integrate learning and knowledge across subjects, influencing children and parents to urge teachers to deliver more and better and working with mixed groups of teachers and children to raise interaction and bridge the gap between teacher training and the school classroom.
		Agastya's upcoming lab school, the Jhunjhunwala Exploratorium and Teacher Education Center, on its 170-acre ecology park campus will be a unique model for holistic creativity-based learning.
		Agastya's experience suggests that injecting creative pedagogy into a rote-based system is a slow and subtle process, whose impact can be measured only over several years.
