If Mullaperiyar collapses

While the thoughts, expressions and creative energies may not match those of the original writer, nevertheless this too is a labour of love.....

Under the label My Translations, I have posted some of the translations I attempted for my best half. Due to the limitations of adding posts on 'My Translations' as a separate page on blogger, I am now moving it to the home page 'My Strokes' itself.

My maiden translation was sometime towards end of 2009 when the 'Rebuild Mullaperiyar, Save Kerala' campaign was launched on blogosphere. It initially appeared on a Malayalam online website started by a group of literary and socially conscious bloggers.

Click here to read the English translation and here for the original Malayalam version.

    If you can't even accept a counter view ; I wonder what would be your reaction if someone posts a critical comment about your post.

  3. Renjith ..its not about me accepting criticism. Its about me rejecting your link which hurt religious sentiments of one set of people. I do not wish to justify any further, rest is up to you how you take it.

  4. Geetham,

    Thank you for your reply. Please tell me how you concluded the article in the link was hurting the religious sentiments of one set of people. As far as I have seen, not even one sentence mentioned or ridiculed any religious practice or idea of "any set of people". It is true that the political practices of one such organisation got condemned.

    You have mentioned that the article in the link was hurting one community's religious sentiments. But you have not made sure which "set of people".
    I would like to get clarified on this.
    Regards
    Renjith George

    Shri. James Wilson's reply is worth emulating.
