About the author

Vaikom Muhammad Basheer is regarded as one of the prominent literary figures ever existed in india. He was a legend in Kerala.

He was one of those outspoken figures who revolutionized Malayalam Literature, and Thus the World Literature itself with his dauntless sarcasm, satire, and black humor.

Often referred to as the Beypore Sultan (the king of Beypore) by the colleagues, he was one of the prominent figures behind the artistical, economical, and social reformation of the Kerala Culture.

His novel Shabdangal (The Voices) was once banned due to its echo that cyclonized a once feudalistic society.

He is also regarded as the translators nightmare. This is mainly because of the colloquial touch he added to his writings, which ethnically speaking would lose its humor and meaning when translated to other languages.

He was the sufi among the writers and and the greatest exponent of Gandhian Thought.

He was awarded with Padma Sri in 1982 for his overall contributions to nation as a freedom fighter, writer, and as a political activist.

First of Basheer's works I've read. Compelling writing.

Aa motta talayil oru lokam undu, valiya oru lokam.

[Abin · Rating 3 out of 5]

A short book but unlike other books from the author, it is highly philosophical and written in complicated words that a simpleton will not be able to easily comprehend what is written. I was not sure what was being said by the author and it is definitely due to my poor language skills and I have to keep this one aside for another time so I can study it later. Still, does not recommend to anyone who loves the simple style of Basheer but if you are looking for a book that can widen your view of the world and its beings, it may be able to help you but only if you have a good language comprehending skill.

Profound and philosophical...

[Rahul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basheer in his whimsical and poetical style waxes about life and existentialism. Among the articles in the collection, ജീവിതം stood out for the sheer brutality and no nonsense exploration of life in various stages. ഏകാന്തതയുടെ മഹാതീരം had the most poetic lines.

[Prasanth Menon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very different book from the author. Basheer ponders over the universe , life, spirituality and God. Not a light book.

നീയും ഞാനും എന്നുള്ള യാഥാർഥ്യത്തിൽ നിന്ന്, അവസാനം നീ മാത്രമായി അവശേഷിക്കാൻ പോകയാണ്..
നീ മാത്രം... 💔

ഹാസ്യത്തിൽ പൊതിഞ്ഞു പറഞ്ഞ പല കാര്യങ്ങളും സമൂഹത്തിലേക്കുള്ള കൂരമ്പുകളാണ്.. സൂഫിസ്റ്റിക് കാഴ്ചപ്പാടുകളുടെ അന്തർധാരയും ലേഖനങ്ങളെ സ്വാധീനിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്...

📚Book - അനർഘ നിമിഷം

[Joyce Job · Rating 3 out of 5]

We cannot say this book is written in prose, but only in prose poetry. It's so philosophical to the point it reminded me of Khalil Gibran's Prophet and the Biblical Songs of Solomon. These articles and short stories also give us a glimpse of the Sufi poet in Basheer.
