The Malayalam translation of his short stories, published by Mathrubumi, titled Ciṟitu nēram maṉitaṉāyiruntavaṉ, has seen two editions within a few months of release.
❝Vairamuthu’s lyric ‘Chinna Chinna Aasai’ resounds in the land of Kerala, as a favorite lullaby. I take pride in releasing Vairamuthu’s short stories titled ‘The one who was human for a short while’ in Malayalam. The theme of these stories are varied and even better is the narrative technique.
M. T. Vasudeva NairJnanpith Awardee
❝Poet Vairamuthu is a unique poet in Tamil language. With a social outlook, he writes poems that reflect society.
Chandra Sekara KambaraJnanpith Awardee
President, Sahitya Akademi
❝Poet Vairamuthu’s ‘Third world war’ has been written with deep concern for society. It talks about how to use the modern method in Indian agriculture. It also talks about the dangers to the world because of environmental pollution.
JayakanthanJnanpith Awardee
❝In Vairamuthu’s ‘Third world war’, he has outlined skillfully, the importance of practising agriculture using the scientific method. If agriculture is given due importance, there will not be a third world war.
Dr. A.P.J Abdul KalamFormer President of India
❝In an orchard, like how a jasmine, marigold and rose exist together, story, imagination and science combine in his novel ‘Third world war’. It kindles the interest in the reader and renders the light to dispel darkness.
Kalaingar KarunanidhiThen Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu
❝Poet Variramuthu’s universal view reflects the post modern era. New wave imagination, innovative similes and poetic devices showcase his calibre.
Dr. Baldev VanshiPoet
❝Interleaving poetry even in film lyrics, Vairamuthu has followed in Kannadasan’s footsteps in bringing a literary quality to Tamil film songs. His name is an honour to the film world.
Sitarama ShastryPoet
❝As he writes about people, language, nature and the rare qualities that man must possess, he can be compared with the famous poet Robert Burns.
Robin WellsThen Mayor, London
❝In this time period, when humanity struggles amidst various problems, Vairamuthu’s writing has the ability to overcome barriers like country, caste, religion and language.
Steven TimmsThen Education Minister, London
❝I’ve been fascinated by many of Vairamuthu’s poems. He is well known to both scholars and the illiterate. His character and interest in poetry will always earn him a special place.
AshokamithranSahithya Akademi Awardee
❝There is an aesthetic quality to Vairamuthu’s poetry. There is satire, there is a righteous anger. In the words of Shelley, a poet must be the protector of humanity’s conscience, in the parliament of compassion. Vairamuthu is such a protector.
Indira ParthasarathySahitya Akademi & Padmashri Awardee
❝Those who refuse to acknowledge Vairamuthu’s contribution to Tamil poetry are rejecting the impact of his poems on society. They fail to accord him due respect saying he writes film lyrics. There are two reasons for this attitude. One is envy and the other is the pre conceived notion that one person cannot excel in two different fields. Such people are the unsavoury elements of our multi-faceted society. Vairamuthu’s poetry will flourish inspite of them. It will be referenced, read, researched and relished.
SujathaWriter
❝To the best of my knowledge, no other creator in the world has published 40 short stories in 40 consecutive weeks. I consider this, a global record.
