Dear Mr.Sivasubramanian Perinkulam,

 

My name is Venkatraman writing to you from bahrain.

 

I have had the honour of reading your short stories, sequels etc at googlepages.com

 

It is obvious that you would have got lot of responses, appreciation and other positive adjectives from people and pattars around the world for the way you present your thoughts. With a large heart i would like to express my happiness and pray that you continue to write in the same way as you do now, so that people like me can enjoy and feel what you experience as the author.

 

Though i am 33 years old, and born and brought up in bombay, having never experience what a village would be, you have taken me years back to view how kerala and other places would have been those yesteryears. To express thoughts with simplicity in a lucid way is not a quality available to many, and goddess saraswathi has bless you generously.

 

In my own small way, I convey my appreciation and if possible respond to me whenever convenient. It would be my pleasure to be in touch with you and also listen to anectodes and fables from your lifetime which would be a learning/ enjoyment point to people like me

 

Yours affectionately 

 

Venkatraman

Dear Sri. Siva,

I have been going thru your many short lively, down to earth, stories (
It sounds as if they are real life situations ) from time to time. I
thoroughly enjoy them.

I belong to Chathapuram, though my sojourn with that wonderful village
was only from 1954 to 1961 when I was studying in PMM school and GVC
later. My father retired from Military Accounts service and settled
down in his ancestral house. From your various narrations I find that
you lived in Olavakkode and you probably were frequenting Chathapuram
village. Your mention of Kallekulangara is vivid in my memory. Yes, I
used to go also crossing the rocks from kalpathy kadavu to that serene
temple. During one of my recent visits to Palakkad I wanted to visit
that temple. Oh God !!! what a transformation. You no longer see those
rocks (parais) and you are lead directly to the temple with a narrow
crowded road. The serenity is lost to posterity. Please keep writing
such wonderful experiences and let me relive my unforgettable grand old
days !!!! I am only 68 years young. Can you recount some of your
contacts from Chathapuram ?

Where are you now ? I am settled in Bombay (Vashi), but shuttle between
Bombay and California where all my children are settled for the past 10
years and more.

Ramanathan

After going through your web site I was impressed by the facility with which you have penned your thoughts some of which are at once humourous but simple.  I see you have deep memory of little things that would have escaped one notice.
