Excerpts ...
Malathi Gopalakrishnan,
Principal, Bhavans Rajaji Vidyashram Chennai
"The Collection of poems shows a remarkable empathy for nature and the environment. Apurva’s relationship with the people around her and her sense of joy at new discoveries form the focal point of many of the poems." says the foreword to Shri Satyapurva Poetry (Apurva’s maiden poetry book), written by the principal of the school where Apurva did her primary schooling.

“Apurva’s precociousness stems from the fact that creativity flows from her as in a river with perennial waters. The fact that she is at an age when children of her age find dolls to be their best companions, her perceptive expressions reveal an astonishingly informed and mature mind.”—extracted from the publisher’s note from Apurva’s poetry work- Shri Satyapurva poetry.
“We are happy to find that the talents of Sow. Apurva are receiving international recognition. We send our prayerful good wishes for her to become a world renowned celebrity in the world of poetry.”
Bhavans Journal
“There is a saying that thoughts of children echo the thoughts of divinity. There is ample evidence for it in this lovely collection of poems from a young creative mind.”
- extract from the publisher’s note of ‘Shri Satyapurva poetry’ published in the journal.

Book Review by Mr. Venugopal
“Apurva has imbibed all the diverse talents and co-curricular options at her disposal in this world! Yet it is her simple creativity which enables transformation of a thought into a poem before you bat an eye lid that makes it special and unique in particular.” (Original review in hindi- translated into English)
Editorial Board
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan-Mumbai
The following are the excerpts of the reviewbythe editorial board after the manuscripts of her maiden work were scrutinised.
“The collection is a beautiful one. It establishes that the child is gifted.”
Rajesh,
Editor, shilpavidhan (tri monthly magazine)
After scrutinizing a few of Apurva’s hindi poems, the editor feels that
“Apurva’s sentiments and inner feelings are as pious as God and are beyond the approach of we people who have crossed the age of 60 years. Her feelings are fresh like November rose and our experiences are ripe and dry.”
G. Mallesham,
Retired teacher,
Mancherial
“A few poems about nature remind me of ‘words worth’ and you are a simple spirit of him. A few poems are advising and a few are suggestive; and very beautiful in expression. I liked some of the poems very much. They gratified me. The poems that I have listed below are spiritual in kind and inspiring; rarely seen in children of your age.
Books are keys to the treasure of wisdom. Money cannot buy brains. Money can buy luxuries but not culture. It can bring amusement but not happiness. It can buy cosmetics but not beauty. But I found everything in your poetry.
I assure you, my child! That you will shine like ‘Sarojini Naidu’, the poetess and daughter of Hyderabad: famous as ‘kokila’.I bless you success in all walks of your life.”—extracts of many letters written by Mr. Mallesham after evaluating her maiden book.

“We are delighted to learn that your daughter B.Y.Apurva’sname gained record entry into the LIMCA Book of Records- 2003 issue, as a youngest poetess. We are also happy to note that she has been a finalist for the Balsri award. We are arranging to publish a suitable write up about her in the BJ.”
“We are delighted to learn that Kum.Apurva has been honoured by her school staff. Our hearty congratulations to the GIFTED CHILD.”
__ Excerpts of letters addressed to Apurva’s parents appreciating her achievements.

Book review – published in the Bhavans book university website.
“A hundred poems with varying number of lines from four to thirty rhyme beautifully and the poetess, a child prodigy and a creative genius that she is, demonstrates her versatility with verse, composing on a wide range of subjects.
Her stunning spiritual insight comes to the fore, in many of her poems which have generous references to God and nature. And even to life, death, past life and future life! Over all, this wonderfully presented, priceless book, makes thoroughly enjoyable reading and provides a rich, rewarding experience.”
