I also gifted him my Tamil translation கடலின் நீண்ட இதழ். He asked me to sign it lol. My Tamil handwriting which is generally cute turned out to be a கிறுக்கல் because of all the stimulation. 000
Subhashree.bsky.social @theriveter.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It was wonderful listening to discussions on Tamil literature and Author Perumal Murugan talking about his life experiences.
