He escaped from its baleful effects, though. Once there was an attempt to cast an evil spell upon the Chief Minister of the State by his rivals using such ritual. For about four centuries, priests of this Ashramam were well known for performing such rituals. It’s one of the two popular ones in Kerala which enjoyed the authority to perform rituals as per the Atharva Veda. Perhaps you may have known about the Ashramam. Last week Anantan Thampi sent me a bunch of palimpsests he got from an ancient Ashramam located at Tulasi Mangalam, Kerala. …Let me tell you the objective of this letter now. For those who don’t know Tamil, here follows the English version of the short story: Meantime, readers who know Tamil can read the short story in the blog of Kaviri Mainthan himself: ிரு-ஜெயமோகன்-அவர்களின்/. My comments on the short story will follow in next posts here. I informed him I would post all my comments in my own blog to open soon. Neglecting the substance of the comments, he derided them saying I’ve an axe to grind in disparaging the popular writer! A comment from his reader advised him to quickly block such critical comments using the comments-moderation facility. As Kaviri Mainthan didn’t expect to receive the kind of comments which reflected poorly on the story, he was not hospitable to my comments. Since I read his blog that day, I was his reader of the day and I posted my comments there. He cut and pasted the short-story in his blog calling for comments from his readers. He is a busy blogger: almost a post a day. Recently I had a chance to read one more short story by Mr Jeyamohan in the blog written by one Kaviri Mainthan. On both stories, I propose to write my comments in this blog after reading them again. A blogger referred to it, and, as usual, lauded it, in highfalutin praise, giving link to it which took me to the writer’s blog itself. The next short-story that I read is by Mr Jeyamohan about a blind guide in a historic temple I don’t remember its title. I hazily recall the first story which is about a beggar sitting on the platform opposite a busy railway station whereas I distinctly remember its title as Guru Peedam. Thus I have come to read, I remember, a short story by late Mr Jeyakanthan, a Gnanpith Award winner for his prolix novel Sila Nerangalil Sila Manitharkals, and another one by Mr Jeyamohan. Some bloggers copy and paste the stories. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given it :-). Often bloggers give link to a short story, mostly by a popular writer, which they praise highly. Through the blogs, I come to read Tamil short-stories and essays occasionally. I do, however, surf Tamil websites and blogs as a recreation to relieve my boredom. Owing to preoccupation with my regular work done only in English, I don’t read modern Tamil novels and short-stories. He writes all these in Tamil magazines and, nowadays, in his personal blog. A versatile writer, his range of subjects include novels and short stories, travelogues, essays and, sometimes, Tamil literary history. He is also known to be writing in Malayalam. It will be a welcome move to see the young leaders take charge and lead forward.Mr Jeyamohan is a popular writer in Tamil. In the earlier days, husband, father or a male family member controlled the panchayat while the women presidents were mere namesake, but the current generation is clear in what their roles and responsibilities are. She is expected to meet the Tirunelveli district collector and hand over the requirements and request list based on the facilities that her village needs. During the swearing-in ceremony, the nonagenarian surprised everyone by signing the papers with her shaky hands while everyone expected a thumb impression from her. She collected her winning certificate with her village cheering for her. Ninety-year-old S Perumaathaal won the Sivanthipatti panchayat, claiming 77.12 percent of the vote share, leaving her contenders with no deposit. On a contrasting note, the elections also witnessed a grandmother who emerged victorious. She encourages and wants youngsters to get educated as she strongly believes that only education can uplift them. Daughter of a farmer, Sharu Kala is pursuing a master’s in engineering from the Hindustan Institute of Technology in Coimbatore. She says her focus would be providing drinking water to every resident’s doorstep. A BA graduate and daughter of Kannan who has a previous record of winning the same panchayat elections thrice, Anu promises to bring e-governance to the village which could facilitate the state and central government schemes for rural development.Ī 22-year-old engineering graduate, R Sharu Kala, is all set to head the drought-hit Venkatampatti panchayat. TN’s youngest candidate to win the panchayat elections is 21-year-old K Anu who was elected as the president of Therkkumedu village panchayat in the newly-constituted Tenkasi district.
