Short stories by M D Vasudevan Nair like oppol and kuttiyedathi and oru pirannalinte orma have all touched ma heart.

I have found Sarah Joseph's, "Alahayude Penmakkal" a delightful read!...In fact, I have been fascinated by her writings!

IT was a sory about a CAT...


I couldnt help laughing out loud at your comment in malayalam on MT's Books . Since i havent read any of uroob's works cant say much. I have been born and bought up outside kerala so my knowledge about Malayalam books is pretty limited .So with my minimal knowledge i just feel that MT's works lies in its character's which just stay with you long after the books are done with. In Life too ambigousness is what persists and MT seems to have captured this essence in his books. Once again its my personal choice and its a free country after all...:)

Just wondering, if there are sufficient people active in this group, why not have occassional group reads?

You will love Anand's works if you love 'language' more than the story . . .


Have you read Kakanadan's Ushnamekhala ? I am sure that you would love the character Karunan.I rate him as one of the top characters in the history of Malayalam novel
