Heavy crowds amidst protests
at Chennai Book Fair
The 38th Chennai Book Fair is witnessing huge crowds. G.
Olivannan (Treasurer, BAPASI) said that the crowd this year
surpassed the usual turnout by 25 per cent.
Bharadan, a resident of West Mambalam, said that he
visits the exhibition every year with a ready list of books he
wants to purchase. “I am looking at buying more than 25
novels and short stories by various popular authors this
year,” he added. Some of the attractions this year include
Iyalvaagai (the organic book stall setup by VaanagamNammalwar Ecological Foundation) with its name written in
green on handmade cloth and paper.
Apart from books, it is also selling traditional toys like
‘Giligiluppai’ made with organic materials and organically
grown seeds of house plants.
The online leftist activist group Maattru (maattru.com)
staged a protest against banning the display and sale of the
controversial novel ‘Madorubhagan’ written by Perumal
Murugan. The group wore black masks and distributed
pamphlets to visitors and also claimed that the police came
and attempted to disrupt their peaceful protest by snatching
leaflets and tearing them up. The group also alleged that a
couple of its leaders were detained in Mambalam Police
Station before being released. Stall owners said that after the
protest, the demand for the novel increased and the entire
stock was sold within two days. The fair concludes on Jan. 21.

Innocent Abroad!
Grandson Manu had, after shrugging off a hard day’s
work at office, walked a mile in freezing minus 16 degrees
cold from New York to catch a train to New Jersey where
he shares a room with an Indian friend. Outside the block
he saw a forlorn Indian, nearly frozen in the ideal weather,
trying to wake up the chap in the upper storey by
methods known to civilazationlike phone calls a dozen
times followed by heavy tapping on the door, none of
which produced the expected response. After a fifteen
minute muscle work was unproductive,except for a sweat
shower, Manu suspected that either the chap or his
quarry was in trouble. So he invited the stranger to his
one room palace and asked him the reason for the nasty
evening show.
Obviously the stranger was an innocent in that part of
Obamaland and the single suitcase that he was carrying
told the story that he had just landed in that country. Of
course he was an Indian, a raw one, who was lured by the
magic stories. Who wouldn’t be? Young, educated and
dreaming of riches and a swagger in his walk, the universal trade mark on the educated young in the fabulous land
of the digital revolution, he had lost his other suitcase
which he had kept in a taxi.
Manu the young digital genius had his feet firmly
grounded while retaining his innate wealth of character
that is attuned to the service of others when required. He
invited the youngster to his room and proposed an immediate dash to New York airport where the young chap had
caught the taxi that dumped him at Manu’s address.This
fellow, on the verge of tears, had, when he landed in New
York, a suitcase of clothes, a portfolio of his papersfor
study in a University and other sheaf of papers and of
course his passport and visa. He was now devoid of those
papers!
After a second innings of weeping, Manu said there was
no point wasting further time and they sped to the New
York airport breaking all speed limits. The airport police
hummed and hawed but could offer no help. All that the
chap remembered was that the car was a black one, in
which case, the airport police officer said, it was an
unauthorised one. Great helpthat intelligence was! As
the chap was contemplating the mode of his exit from this
world, Manu saw a blacktaxi entering the airport grounds.
They typhooned to the spot and, with the anxious collaboration of the taxi driver, found the treasure in the luggage
boot. They were all innocent. Manu has earned a friend
for life!
