Seldom the very first book of an author has been hailed as a literary classic as "Nila Saraswati". For nearly half a century its poems have tinted the landscape of Odia modern poetry. It is a book of love and longing which coexist with pain and nostalgia. It is like playing a game of chess with oneself, leaving an empty chair for death.
