Vairamuthu to 'return' ONV Kurup literary prize

Though he said he was ‘returning’ the award, in effect he was declining the honour, saying he did not want the jury to face embarrassment and blamed ‘vendetta’ behind the decision to reconsider the award by the ONV Cultural Academy.

The mild-mannered poet harboured revolutionary ideas
Widely respected as a poet, scholar and teacher, Vishnu Narayanan Namboothiri who passed away on Thursday was a familiar face to the people of Thiruvananthapuram. Until a few years ago, it was not uncommon to see the poet, khadi-clad and riding a bicycle, on the city streets.
Some years ago, during an interaction with schoolchildren, he had this to say, “It’s true that I travel by bicycle, but that is because I do not know to ride any other vehicle. I have been wearing only khadi from the age of six because that helps families involved in the weaving of the cloth.”

Purists may not agree, but poetry can also be enjoyed when it is accompanied by music. Vishnu Narayanan Namboothiri certainly enjoyed listening to one of his early poems,
Balyakala Sakhi, in G. Venugopal's gentle voice, set to lilting music by Suresh Manimala.
Venugopal included it in his first album of poems,
Kavyaragam. “I think
Balyakala Sakhi is now the most popular of all Namboothiri’s poems because so many people listened to the album, and we all know that very few actually spend time to read poetry,” he told
