About the author

Balakumaran was born in Pazhamarneri village near Thirukattupalli in Thanjavur district in 1946. As a child, he was highly inspired by his mother, who was a Tamil scholar and a Siromani in Sanskrit, used verses of Sangam and other ancient literature to motivate him when ever he was emotionally down. This created a deep interest in Tamil literature which made literature his passion. His first stories were published in a literary magazine called ‘Ka-Sa-Da-Tha-Pa-Ra’ and for which he was also a founding member, a self-anointed militant literary journal that had been launched with a mission to blaze new trails in modernist literature.

He has also contributed to Tamil periodicals such as Kalki, Ananda Vikatan, Saavi and Kumudam. Later he became a famous Tamil writer, author of over 200 novels, 100 short stories, and dialogue/screenplay writer for over 14 films. His writings are noted for a distinct philosophical and religious tone. He is fondly called 'Ezhuthu Sithar' by his fans. He is a disciple of "Sri Yogi Ram Surath Kumar".

In his many novels he shows immense interest in enlightenment. He is considered as "Maanasiga Guru" for many individuals, who are in search of the formless almighty. His lucid but powerful expressions of man-woman relationship and human-God union is a tribute to mankind.

இப்புத்தகத்தில் தனிமைத் தவம், காசுமாலை என இரு குறுநாவல்கள்.
பாண்டவர்கள் 12 வருட வன வாசத்திற்கு பிறகு, ஒரு வருடம் விராட நாட்டில் அஞ்ஞான வாசம் இருக்கும் விராட பருவக் கதைதான் தனிமைத் தவம் நாவல். சகாதேவன் கதை கூறுவதாய் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. கொஞ்சம் கதை, நிறைய நல்ல கருத்துக்கள்...
காசுமாலை நாவலில் பணத்தாசை, பெண்ணாசை கொண்டு அலைகிறவனுக்கு கடைசியில் என்ன நேரும் என்பதே கதை...

This books has two stories with one connected with a portion of Mahabharata and another a story of guy working in an agency connected with harbour. This books speaks about how women, in ancient times and modern times, are exploited. The story which is an excerpt from Mahabharata, is wholesome both in content wise and in story wise. It is sensibly arguing facts, discussing and applauding human values and love in a constructive manner. The other story is biased with feminism thoughts, however it portrays well , the plight of orphaned woman, which may be coherent with conditions of woman of modern times. But here, author fails to address what the nuances of morality issues connected with the second story.
