The book, a culmination of Mr. Ravi’s lifelong engagement with the works of William Shakespeare, was hailed as both scholarly and deeply personal. Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary Mr. S. Chakravarthy paid a glowing tribute, stating, “Ravi breathes, inhales and exhales Shakespeare. He has pierced through Shakespeare to get the real essence. He is not just a reader, he is an addict.”

During his address, Mr. Ravi recalled fond memories of visiting Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare’s birthplace, and reciting verses at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. He narrated how he once stunned tourists by reciting lines from Hamlet, and how he quoted the Bard during a car ride with Nobel laureate C.F. Powell. “I have recited Shakespeare in places where nobody ever did. Every word he wrote shines with incandescent luminosity,” Mr. Ravi remarked.

He highlighted Shakespeare’s enduring influence, noting the Bard’s creation of nearly 2,000 new words and his timeless exploration of the human condition. Mr. Ravi’s speech reflected on how Shakespeare’s treatment of love, loss, ambition, betrayal, and evil remains relevant across generations. “His greatness stays indelibly with those who have had the privilege of being exposed to his work,” a message read during the event stated.

Among the dignitaries present were former Tamil Nadu Governor and retired IPS officer Mr. Ram Mohan Rao, who praised Mr. Ravi’s literary brilliance despite being trained in mathematics and statistics, and former Hyderabad Police Commissioner Mr. A.K. Khan.

The launch served as a fitting tribute to Mr. Ravi’s passion for literature and his mission to make Shakespeare resonate with audiences beyond the classroom.
