 As a popular science writer, Ramendra's commitment seems to have been "to share with everyone else the fun, the delight and ecstasy of science (in Ramendra’s case, the themes and findings of modern western science).This could only be achieved by dissolving the alien terms and themes in an indigenous, flexible, and comprehensible linguistic medium.Thus, when creating scientific terms, Ramendra took care to select words which were sweet sounding and easily pronounced, drew examples from mythology, folklore and local traditions…, cemented his prose with humour, lined his comments with mild irony and talked of the gravest things with his tongue in his cheek.
