[HedgeYourBets]

yep, you are right Kanchana I don't know how
anjarai petti got into my head...

As to how I wrote about Pillayaar, I undersatnd.
Because Ambai wrote a story on Ganesh Chathurthi
and the environmental degradation caused when
dumping huge plaster of paris idols in ocean.(
at that time, in Chennai people had to cut off
hands, heads of these idols to take it to ocean).
Story ends somewhat like the novel "Chemmeen" with a fish washed ashore and having iron rod in its mouth ( which was used for making the idol). This story came long time back in India Today.

Anyways, thread viewers excuse me for the
digression.

[NeroASERCH]

kanchana,
you said, "lilly vinaayagam Trust (hope I got that right!)"
or, is it Lilly Devasigamani Trust??

[NeroASERCH]

What is Swarajathi means. Could someone please someone tell me? I will appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

The piLLaiyAr story is "kadarkaraiyil oru kaavi
piLLaiyAr"

[tgs]

Thirumathi Kanchana

vaNakkam.

As a matter of fact I wanted to inform Balaji about the "ilakkiya cinthanai"
and its yearly selection of the 12 best short strories of the year
and the best among those 12 and all that.
Waited for responses from others to see where this thread is heading

I've the ilakkiya cinthanai collections from the year 1991-93 thro' 1998.
If you do not have them already, can mail them to you.

While browsing thro' the older/inactive threads here @ Forum Hub under
the Tamil Lit. category,found the following relevant threads,well sort of.

======

http://forumhub.com/tlit/2492.22.05.05.html

http://forumhub.com/tlit/11799.10.10.18.html

http://forumhub.com/tlit/8078.09.21.19.html

=======

imo: Collect various thoughts/opinions from all kind of Tamils;
evaluate,analyze and then choose the best short stories that qualify
for translation to Englsh.I''ve no qualification to advice you,but pl make
an effort to include those writings,even if they aren't from well known
"successful" writers,but still could be one of a kind.

To add a bit further,of all places here in Abq,NM ran into munnOdi
Tamil short story writer ['i've been told] Mowni's grand son on the other day!!
'was told by him Mowni's short story collection is out of print,but he
has a copy.If you or others would like to include anyone of his short stories,
I would be glad to write it up,in a February or March weekend.

Here is yet another thread where I'm planning to write up some
of those short stories that I've read and feel like,are one of a kind,imho...

http://forumhub.com/tlit/25899.14.56.38.html

Mind you, this from an average (may be below!) tamil soul's point of view but a
"siRukathai piththu" as well ) ,this as a forewarning to disregard any further
inputs from the likes of me

Just wanted to make sure whether it is typed correctly by you or not. 'Kottu mElam' was written by Thi.Janakiraman and 'Utharayanam' was written by La.Sa.Ra.

Kottu melam story is same as Ant and the Grasshopper by Somerset Maugham (localised).

I don't know whether these two authors have written stories with same title. need to check if you are interested.

[Big A]

Balaji,
I think it is useful to see what is out there first..both in Tamil and in English. Didn't ka.naa.subramaniyam translate some Tamil stories into English? What about various Tamil collections like
Asokamithran's , Akilan's and saa.kandhasaamy
(for Sahitya Academi..which led to controversy)..
(I have seen reference to these in a recent Kumudam interview with writer Samudhram..).Should not these be first translated ? They have been chosen by well-known authors who probably have read a lot more than many of us...

A less controversial attempt is to identify the 'best' short story writers and choose one story for each...

[LottiFurmann]

Is there any plan to publish an anthology of Tamil stories by different authors in English translation? If so, at what stage is it? I would be most interested to know.
I translate Tamil stories in English and these have been published in The Hindu, Indian Express and also Frontline.
Authors include Balakumaran, Indira Parthasarathy (Tholaivu), Anuradha Ramanan and Vannadasan (Ther).
I have also translated a Sujatha story and submitted it to the author for comment and permission for possible publication, but I haven't heard from him.
While hub admin might want to consider including the two titles I have mentioned in parentheses above (without detracting from other stories, these in my opinion are worthy of being anthologised), I am also ready to undertake translating any Tamil stories which it chooses ultimately (if I like them, that is!).
A response from hub admin would be appreciated.
