	The Mammaries of the Welfare State - Upamanyu Chatterjee
		Agastya hasn't completely given up: he closes a circular with the reminder: "There is always room for improvement -- even when one doesn't want it." Still, it does not look good.
		Agastya himself only survives his job because he carefully balances work with as much leave as he can afford to get away with.
		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 moves to Madna, a terribly hot place, and stays in a dilapidated and crumbling guest house which is a den of mosquitoes where he is fed by an irreverent cook called Vasant who he suspects is feeding him his turds.
		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.
		Agastya, as a person is the perfect mirror image of several Indians who are in the same dilemma, or similar kinds of disillusionment.

		Then that eminent and shrewd sage Agastya in righteousness took his seat at the outset, and spoke to prudent Rama of righteousness itself, and who by now is sitting with his palms adjoined.

	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.

		To amuse himself when he meets the locals, Agastya makes up stories about his past: He confides to the District Inspector of Land Records that his (nonexistent) wife is a Norwegian Muslim and that his "parents were in Antarctica, members of the first Indian expedition.
		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.
