The Chronicle of Golgotha Days - 040419

-

My Novel is only an independent adaptation of the cruel incident which happened in 1996 to a 16 year old girl over 42 days. When I narrated my novel to a "Turkish Friend" he retorted, such an incident happened in his country involving all the white collar members of the pseudo diplomatic society. This could be placed anywhere and to anyone, but how can we eliminate such cruel dark comedies from the pleasure hunters who rule the society.

Nalukettu – A Magical Text from M.T Vasudevan Nair After seven years, my hands accidentally fell on the novel “Nalukettu” from the inside shelf of my library unit. In certain instances, we feel obliged towards our short memory. As I started to read, 5th time of re-reading, I slowly started to extract real pleasure as if approaching a new fascinating novel.            Many celebrated texts glorified by the critics not even possess the quality of single round readability. Still, they are famous and excited as admired works. How many adore and empathize with the characters portrayed through these novels. I am pointing on the so-called new generation writers of Malayalam fiction. The only benchmark a text should be appraised is its quality of readability. Face Flatter, give, and take compliments doesn’t make a text to transcend time.            As before, when I entered the ...

Interview with the acclaimed writer Charu Nivedita by Sujith Balakrishnan Transgressive writing must be taboo in contemporary India. Is it due to its obscenity, its nakedness or its wildness? It should be nothing of the reasons but the utter hypocritical mindset developed from the frustration of a failed spring revolution in India. When openness, plurality, have been replaced by the superficial happiness achieved by materialistic wealth and fame, transgressiveness can’t prosper in such a society, they suppress and attack the person who tried to open up the nakedness of the body, the nakedness of sexual pleasures, the nakedness of utter truth, the nakedness of society. A society that wants to hide all the guilty pleasures but to enjoy in its full extend clandestinely and consider it as morally correct but morally sick as in the true sense. What India has come to know as ‘Transgressive’ writing is regarded by the rest of the world as ‘soft porn’ ‘Hedonism’ and even...
