Being an ardent fan of Tamizh, I started to search for some Tamizh novels, not too historic/epic. In this process, I came through 'Kallikaatu Ithigaasam' by Vairamuthu and started reading it. Though the slang in which the entire story was narrated being in a village style, one could understand the depth of the story through it.

Adding the fact that this book says the early life of Kaviarasu Vairamuthu, the story moves with the culture and life around Kallipatti. We can feel their lives on those days and can gain an immense knowledge about a village.

The lead character reminds me so much of all the people i have seen when I go to my native place. 'mapilla' thatha who will be usually seen under the giant tree beside the road which leads to my grandparent's house, 'Mittaai' thatha who gives a kiss on my cheeks and orange mittaai in my hand every time i see him, and finally my grand father who i can see from the road leading to the house because he will be sitting on a stone, which is used to tie cattle, feeding the cattle and waiting for us ev The lead character reminds me so much of all the people i have seen when I go to my native place.

Th Vairamuthu was born to Ramaswamythevar and Angammal of Mettur in a middle-class family. When he was four, the village gave way to Vaigai Dam and the family moved to Vadugapatti village, a farming community in Theni near Periyakulam. The ambience of the village is said to have inspired him to write poems. According to him, Tamil and Rationalist movements of the sixties stimulated his poetic zeal.
The speeches of Periyar & Anna, the writings of Karunanidhi and the works of eminent poets like Bharathi, Bharathidasan and Kannadasan and the life in the countryside shaped the young poet's thinking. At the age of fourteen, he was inspired by Thiruvalluvar's Thirukkural to write a Venba compilation of poetry, strictly adhering to the Yappu grammar rules of Tamil poetry. He joined Pachaiyappa's college in Chennai where he was acclaimed as the best speaker and poet.
While in his second year of B. And barely nineteen years of age, Vairamuthu published his maiden anthology Vaigarai Megangal. It was prescribed for study in Women's Christian College. Thus, he achieved the distinction of a student poet whose work was taken into the curriculum while he was still a student. His second work, Thiruththi Yezhudhiya Theerpugal, in pudhu kavidhai (free verse) form was published in 1979. He made his film debut in the succeeding year when he set lyrics for Bharathiraja's Nizhalgal.
