Cultural interactions would never be shrunk into geographical boundaries, Ex-Union Minister of State for Human Resources Development, Shashi Tharoor, has said.

Recently while he was inaugurating a meeting of woman writers in southern India, organized by the Kerala Sahitya Akademi in collaboration with the Artists for Performing Arts, at Chengannur. According to him, though literary works are confined to time and space, creative writings very well outlive this time and space.


Kavishala breaks the barrier of Literature on all grounds :


Believe in us we're really trying to seek your attention

   but it’s harder every day

& so we started to trust not only in appearances not

   “authenticity”—that's just a half-truth—

Expanding so precisely redacted it’s even less

   now than when it once seemed

So we can’t help with it & maybe you're doing all right?—

   Everyone else has to tell us

We spend whole time in meetings & almost negligible

   with the very few people we love

Still, our house looks beautiful coz it’s filled with books

   & filled with light of knowledge too

Rhythm of eloquent opera at the end

   of the world & also with the grace

Of women who’s made their home of pages

   poems & dipped hand-inked messages

Leading to our door as it’s now the single way

   We are actually intellectual people

But how do we look these days?—& really

   who remembers it all as we do?—

& when the night-blooming jasmine smells so

   delicious we love just discovering books

   All vintage Vox amp cranked up

From High and low notes

None could salute those verses

   of pure human spittle, we search for

   irrelevant & yet so briefly Alive in us!


The cultural exchange programs would lead to a better understanding of other people’s way of life. There is a big difference in the man and woman's sensibilities and hence an exclusive meeting of woman writers has always got relevance. Thus, Perumpadavom Sreedharan, Kerala Sahitya Akademi president, presided over the inaugural function.

At that official meet of Authors Kanakahama Vishnunath, the Kannada writer delivered the introductory speech. C. S. Lakshmi, the Tamil writer, delivered the keynote address. Woman writers, Vimala Morthala (Telugu), Prathibha Nandakumar (Kannada), Thulasi Venugopal (Kannada), Susheela Bhatt (Konkani), and Mitra Venkatesh (Kannada), made literary presentations at the seminar held, later. Rosy Thampi was the moderator. This shows that how the female writers are emerging as an idol to build a career in Writing and influencing the mob without showing their ultimate presence. This is expanding the growth of Literature!



Why Literature is a Boon for the current-gen?


  • Literature cannot be cocooned inside a sole culture. It bifurcates into diverse cultures. While geographical boundaries confine us to build the walls and gates between two provinces but the power of words surpasses all the circumstances and travels from one place to the other without any hindrance of caste, sex, religion, and genre.
  • It's completely independent of the era because even the people of the new generation like to read the books of the ancient era, the holy novels, and the mysteries of Historical myths and taboos.
  • Literature enables a being to time travel from one season to another propelling different feelings, interests, causes, and a purpose to uphold before further reading the book.
  • We come to know about the visions of Authors from across the world penning down their experiences and journey so far into pages, verses, and poems. Also, a motivation to highlighting the significance of writers and building a bridge between two nationalities.
