This is a media impacted world. Information is no more merely a News, but a means of shaping the opinions of even an ordinary citizen. Media changed the direction of life of D.V. Sridharan, a trained marine engineer. After a decade of service on the sea and across the world he returned home in 1970 to confront mostly negative news. A personal tragedy made atmosphere more painful and more depressive. All the time he is wondering as to ‘how has the civilisation endured these 5,000 years?’ Reading of book River Sutra by Gita Mehta takes him to the origin of river Narmada in Amarkantak. Accidental meeting of a saintly person, Nagaraja Sharma at Amarkantak catapults the author from disenchantment into a world giving meaning to life. Author becomes a hunter and partaker of ‘only Good News’.
