Contribution of non-thamizh writers to thamizh Lit.

[Oldposts]

Dear Venkat,

I too remember 'Chitira poo chelai' in 'Pudhu Cheruppu'. As u've mentioned, it was written by JK - first published in his literary journal Jnana Ratham under the title Kaamam.

Do you remember the words,

"PadikaatiL nadanthu varum
paathathu ezhil kaNpadharkku
padikattin idaiyil or
palagaiyai maareno" (shades of Azhwar)

BTW, Puthu Cheruppu was made available for screening after its completion but by then distributors began acquiring only 'color films' and so Pudhu Cheruppu is still in the cans.

Before anyone starts accusing us of hijacking this topic,

au revoir,
Murug
