Hallo!

Thank you for your book "Oru Norway Thamilarin Arumaiyana Anupavangal".

You have got an opportunity to express our thoughts to authoritative individuals around the world, including Norwegian Parliament ministers. This is a very helpful hand to our Tamil people. As a Tamil, I also would like to thank you. Please do continue this service towards our people. Your autobiography was interesting to read. Overall, I was very pleased. I read your poems and articles as well.

Your book reveals how deeply passionate you are about the Tamil language, about our native land, and Tamil society.

I wish you the best in your future endeavours!

Sincerely,

S. Thalayasingham

Hi Sir!

I'm a bibliographic specialist with the National Library of Singapore. I create name headings for our Tamil authors in the American OCLC database. Currently, I'm creating one for you for the title, "Oru Norway Tamizharin arumaiyana anupavangal".

There's a similar name heading in the OCLC database under author's name, " Shanmugappirabu, Na" for title, "Tennagathil Vi. Pi." published in 1978. May I know if you had authored this book?

Thank you very much for your time

Yours gratefully
Thamarai /NUS-Library,Singapore.

I was just wondering how do you know my husband:Mr.Selvaraj/Writer/Malaysia, who passed away. He was very well versed in Tamil but I am not that good. However I can read and write. I went through a few pages of yourbook, the respect you have gained from the various celebrities which shows in the introductions. The situation here is normal and under control except for the few hindraf group who were arrested under ISA law for causing unnecessary problem for our Goverment! it is not so bad as the foreign medias has highlighted!It is all under control.

Thank you!..................... Savithiri Selvaraj/Malaysia

I have known him from 1994 due to Sarvadesa Tamiler -magazine/ litterature exchange/ contacts and he sent his books to me too! I have great respect for him!.................................Shan

Dear Pirabu!

Thanks for your response. Since you asked, here are my frank comments - whether you like it or not. The poetry style you had chosen to tell your life story is somewhat exceptional. Even Kavi Arasu Kannadasan, wrote his autobiography (2 volumes; Vanavaasam and Manavaasam) in prose, and not in poetry! Your book, as it is, is well produced. This I should admit, and quite impressive. I have Kannadasan's Pon Vizha Malar, which is only half the size of yours.

But, your book would have been more interesting and educational, if its contents are really self-reflective about your growth process, rather than being too adulatory. Too much adulation, bouquets and aaraathi without any self-reflection and self criticism somewhat devalues the worth of the book. This is my personal opinion. You are welcome to disagree. I noticed from the message provided by Dr.V.Maheswaran (who was a dear young friend of mine, during the Peradeniya days) is a senior academic at the Tamil Department there. He acted in two of the Tamil dramas I produced there in 1979-80. I should write to him, since I have lost touch with him since I left the island.

Another point. The title of your book 'Oru Norway Thamilan...' is somewhat misleading, though sensational. Correctly, you should have framed it as, 'Oru Norway vathiyum Thamilan'. After all, you are originally from Jaffna-Eelam! Regards.

Dear Pirabu!

Finally, I got the books today!
I opened the books and read half way through so far.
Your poems on your family ; your dad; grandpa; mother and kathiravelu vaathiyaar
are all very touching! Janani's story bring tears!
It is a good collection of all your photos and life.
So, it was also part of your 50th B'day.
I did not know, other wise I would have included that in my message.
How did you find my Vaalththurai?
I will place one in our Tamil Library and send another one to Melbourne and Brisbane.
Thanks!
