Chayathirai (Environmental Novel)

* Subrabharathimanyan has written an unforgettable - or rather, unforgettable - novel about the suffering of a cat who is stung by a tiger. A thousand years ago, Buddhist monks who plucked coral jasmine flowers that fell on the ground and stained their clothes with saffron did not destroy nature. Today, the novel 'Sayathirai' tells the story of how this love of color is eroding and destroying nature's greatest creation, man. - Prema Nandakumar * Subrabharathimanyan shows the truth of the city of Tiruppur, which is covered in a colorful sayathirai. He lays everything side by side, reality and illusion, life and death, dirt and decay, and tears the sayathirai to show sadness. Eating and not eating, living and falling, loving and dying, laughing and crying are told in the same tone, in the same voice, and with the same feeling. Subrabharathimaniyan's art is a testament to his maturity and emotional resonance. - Ponnilan
