The three comments below were the only ones handed in after the staged reading of PROMISE in New York City on May 5 and 6, 2000.
"I thought the play was beautiful in its conception, its beauty of message and its portrayal. Aikya, I commend you for making the effort to bring this timeless epic to the west. It has so much to offer to everyone regardless of background. The lyricism of the poetry and the way you captured the emotions and inner meaning with you rhetoric was just stunning!" Sindu Doraiswamy Singh
"I greatly enjoyed the performance. Your language was very clear as was the actors' performance. Not only does your play help explain Ramayan to Westerners but also to second generation Indians such as myself.
Good luck with it."
