தமிழில் பயண நூல்கள் படித்ததில்லை, அறுபதுகளில் எழுதிய புத்தகமாயினும், வாசிக்க வாசிக்க காபி தோட்டமும், காவேரியின் வாசனையும், நிறைக்கின்றன.
பெரும் திட்டமிடலும், பொறுமையம் இருந்தால் மட்டுமே இது சாத்தியம். வந்தேன், சென்றேன் என்றில்லாமல், விவரனையுடன், காட்சியாகவும் சாட்சியாகவும் எழுத்தப்பட்ட எளிய பயணக்குறிப்பு
