<b><span style="color: red;">COIMBATORE</span></b><span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><b><span style="color: red;">:</span></b><span style="color: #3f3f3f;"> Perceptions often hide more than they reveal about a place. Take the case of our city. The dominant image of </span></span><span style="color: #3f3f3f;">Coimbatore</span><span style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> is that of an industrial town with a grey skyline spotted with chimneys and all.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Yes, textiles, small and big machines run the wheels of the city's economy, but there is much more to the city than just machines except that those activities rarely grab the headlines.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Coimbatore's tryst with literature is one such less-known connection. The city is home to many well-known writers in Tamil and literary meetings are a regular feature here. <span style="text-align: start;">Acclaimed critic and poet Sirpi Balasubramanian says such meetings organised here by various literary groups every month has played a pivotal role in the growth of Tamil literature.</span><br />
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
"In fact, participating in many literary meetings has helped me in many ways and shaped the writer in me," says Sirpi, who is one of the founders of the short-lived Vanambadi movement that left an indelible mark on Tamil literature. He adds that literary meetings held with regular periodicity has renewed interest in literature and acts as a catalytic agent for the growth of young writers and poets.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Tamil Nadu Ilakkiya Peravai, for instance, has been conducting literary meetings for more than two decades in the city. "The literary movement has conducted as many as 264 meetings in the past 21 years without missing even a month," Pulavar Aadhi alias Rasiannan (80), president of the Peravai. The Tamil scholar who retired as a teacher from a corporation school in the city in 1992 is the driving force behind the Peravai.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The meetings have been on classical Tamil texts such as Silapadikaram, Manimekalai, Purananuru, Tirukkural and Tolkappiyam to modern novels and poetry. "On an average 50 to 60 people attend our meetings and when eminent persons come up the attendance goes up to 200," says Pulavar Aadhi. "On an average, we have to spend Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 for a meeting and we pool in money to meet the expenses," he adds.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Engineer and poet Muthamizh Virumbi (44), who conducts literary meetings under the banner of Nerunchi Ilakiya Muttram in Coimbatore, Thanjavur and Madurai, says an average of 60 to 80 people attend them on a regular basis. "The meetings have served as a platform for budding writers by helping them get rid of the fear of writing," says Virumbi, who has coordinated Muttram since 1993.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
According to him, literary meetings enhance knowledge sharing and many regular participants have now become poets and authors. "Poetry recital, discussions on foreign literature, book reviews and special address by eminent writers are all part of our meetings," Virumbi says.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; color: #4d4d4d; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Regardless of how hard one tries, it is impossible to shed the past. This is a realization that Shivan Rassiah, the protagonist of Shyam Selvadurai's latest novel, The Hungry Ghosts, must grapple with.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the novel opens, Shivan — who emigrated from war-torn Sri Lanka to Canada as a young man — is preparing to travel back to the country of his birth to bring his ailing grandmother to Ontario. But as he prepares for his departure, Shivan finds himself haunted by memories of loss, desire and his grandmother's domineering presence in his life. </span></span><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Born in Sri Lanka in 1965 to a Sinhalese mother and a Tamil father, Shyam Selvadurai immigrated to Canada at the age of 19. His parents were members of Sri Lanka's conflicting ethnic groups — a major theme that underlies hiSelvadurai's writing.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Selvadurai's debut novel — 1994's Funny Boy — was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and won the Books in Canada First Novel Award. He followed that up with the short story collection Cinnamon Gardens in 1998. Currently living in Toronto, Selvadurai's latest novel — The Hungry Ghosts — took him 13 years to write and is his first novel to be set in Canada.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Outside of his own writing, Selvadurai heads Write to Reconcile, a project designed to give young Sri Lankan writers a platform to write about memory, reconciliation and war in a manner that challenges official government versions of that country's civil war. He plans to publish an anthology of the project's writing this fall.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Selvadurai recently sat down with Karry Taylor of the Calgary Journal to discuss writing, memory, and the role of fiction. </span></span><br />
