I enjoyed this program. It is good to hear writers” opinion about writers. so that they can progress. I agree with the meaningful opinion of Nirmala and John. Congratlations to Namboothiri!
hearty congratulations,thirumeni
Elamatha, where were you till this age? Now only we hear you. Well Done.
What happened to Sukumar azhikode and Zachariah? They should keep their standard…….Don’t think that writers can tell any foolish things……write good things and say wise things….then people will respect the writers………………Best wishes for “Tiny footprints” [Kunjdippadukal”
Though the book is named ‘kunjadippaadukal’ (tiny footprints.) it should be read by people with bigger foot prints.
Hats off to you, Dear ThirumEni and wishing you all the best..
