Gnanapith Award for writer Vairamuthu! - V.N.Giritharan

The Jnanpith Award is presented by the family that runs 'The Times of India' newspaper group. It is not like the Sahitya Akademi Award given by the Indian government, but it is considered a prestigious award. This time, it has been awarded to writer Vairamuthu. He is a well-known Tamil cinema lyricist. He has received it for his lifelong contributions to art and literature, and not for a specific individual work. 

Many individuals, including writer Jeyamohan, also present awards through various organizations. They select deserving recipients based on their own perspectives. State governments also confer similar awards. However, the Jnanpith Award is presented by a family.

I have occasionally listened to Poet Vairamuthu's film songs. Many of his songs have captivated me with their language. I haven't read all of his fiction, but I have read 'Kallikkattu Ithikasam' (The Epic of the Cactus Forest). It is certainly an award-worthy novel. It is not only rich with the scent of the soil, but also powerfully expresses the tragedy of how the government, authority, and the construction of a new dam turn the people of Kallipattu village into refugees in their own land, and the resulting pain. The novel reveals how meticulously the novelist has observed the land, the people, and nature. He has written the dialogues with vivid realism.

Is all the time and space
Unfolding before my eyes,
An illusion created by my mind?

If it's the mind's illusion,
Is this wondrous, vast world all false?
Is it right that our life on Earth
Is lived by believing falsehoods as truth?

Is all the time and space
Unfolding before my eyes,
An illusion created by my mind?

A review of V.N. Giridharan's novel 'America' based on its English translation by 'Google NotebookLM'!

 

'Google NotebookLM' is a very useful software from Google. When I needed to get a review of the English translation of my short novel 'America' by the writer Latha Ramakrishnan, I submitted it to Google NotebookLM. The review presented in this video was conducted by both male and female reviewers through the software. Please listen to it completely and share your thoughts."

Let's innovate! Let's reduce impacts! Let's coexist!

As new technologies are introduced from time to time, new environmental activists emerge on social media. AI consumes a large amount of electricity. As this electricity is generated by burning fuels like coal, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. In this manner, many begin to raise their voices. Their activism is commendable. However, their claims of intending to reduce the use of these technologies are hypocritical. They will certainly not refrain from using its benefits. If preventing environmental damage is their primary objective, then what they should do is reject all the following technologies.

    Avoid using refrigerators. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in refrigerators deplete the ozone layer and generate excessive heat. They also consume a lot of electricity from fuels like coal, thereby sending more carbon into the atmosphere. Furthermore, when they are not properly recycled, the toxic substances within them mix with soil and air, causing pollution.

Attention Writers - The Power of the Internet!

My novel, 'Kudivaravaalan,' has been translated into English by writer Latha Ramakrishnan as 'An Immigrant.' You can read it on the Noolaham website. I recently came across some information about this novel during a Google search: Dr. P. Muthulakshmi, an Assistant Professor from Tamil Nadu, presented an English critical analysis of this novel at an international literary conference. The title of her research paper is 'Ethnic Conflict in V.N. Giritharan’s An Immigrant.'

It is also noteworthy that Dr. Dharani Akhil has previously written two English research papers about this novel. The details are as follows:

Let us salute for Alex Pretti's humanitarianism!

In Minneapolis, U.S. President Donald Trump's oppression against immigrants continues. The rampage of his ICE agenst continues. Without any humanity, they continue to shamefully arrest women, the elderly, and children, and to use excessive force against them.

In one such instance, one of the aforementioned ICE agents pushes a woman onto the roadside. Following him, several more ICE agents rush to assist, like hunting dogs. Alex Pretti, a white male nurse, runs to save that innocent woman. Although he had a legal firearm at his waist, he does not attempt to use it under any circumstance. As soon as one of the ICE agents sees it and takes it, Alex Pretti is shot and killed.

Let us salute for Alex Pretti's humanitarianism.
