Articles: Literature | Naveen’s Ampasayya
- Dr. Rajeshwar Mittapalli

There is also an implied suggestion in the novel to the young men and women not to waste their time on merely agonizing over a non-existent ideal order and the impossibility of creating an ideal order but to lay, through collective effort and struggle, a path which is free of barriers and which will lead them to the attainment of individual and collective progress.
Naveen’s language and style have a rare felicity about them. His language is easy to understand, although over-laced with English, and his style is racy. Ampasayya is unputdownable as indeed every one of Naveen’s novels is. Since the novelist endeavors to place the inner world of his protagonist, which is a seething cauldron of emotions, unbridled thoughts and feelings, the language too matches the speed of their occurrence. The reader is made to race along the thoughts of the protagonist for which the language helps him in a number of ways. Naveen’s diction and racy style ably match the subject matter and enhance its artistic appeal.
Humour also plays an important role in Ampasayya making it all the more interesting. Ravi, for example, even as he goes through several hardships, can still laugh at himself. He can cast his own doubts and find answers to them provoking a smile on our lips. Another technique which provokes gentle laughter in the novel is the way Naveen uses familiar words and expressions imparting special meanings to them, and that often repetitively.
