moonnamidam, a cultural space in web

Really happy to see Reshmi K.M. again in Moonnamidam pages.Hers is becoming a prominent & sought after name in the literary circles for all the good reasons.Her poem 'Paranju kettittillathava' deserves a very special mension.A ray of hope in the world of hypes & fakes.

Dear Editor,

The poem 'Chumarchithram' by Jacob Thomas is a powerful one against fundamentalism and terrorism. The fate of the family of the vegetable vendor looms large on the whole of humanity. The painting, unlike that of Jackson Pollock, is so dreadful, vile and inhuman. The poet deserves a comment for portraying terrorism in stark reality. The color is so dismal and dark!

Dear Edior,

I would like to congratulate the writer of the story 'bhoomi itaykkite natakkunna nagaram'. Even though there is not any human protagonist he succeeded to take the reader until end without boring.

Thanks to moonnamidam for this story

Your editorial (July 15-22) and the article by Rafi M are disappointing. You seem to be scared of the beast. In the words of the good old English you are beating around the bush. May be you have geographical limitations and restrictions.

A Well written story by Nirmala. Really promising writer. Congrats to moonnamidam and the new writer.

Moonnamidam is clean, fresh and well made.
I feel very happy to see the pages of web mags because of the presence of light in the pages which is not there in printed paper.

I happened to read one of your articles recently, the one by Sarju on Non-alignment (issue 7 Feb 17-23). In 'Non-Alignment', the 'Non' had been referring to 'Soviet'; not any simpleton vacuity of a meaningless 'Non'. Well, if the term could have
defended with its literal intention, then the word 'apolitical' could be as well be argued out as 'political' -right? The coinage of the term (Non-Alignment) was a historically inevitable tactic-game on survival (with honour), at least on the Indian position. India chose democracy,despite its overwhelming politicizations of its great northern neighbours -China and the USSR. The Nehruvian-Fabian Socialism was a make-belief
political pretension under which the ultimate programme for a civilized capitalistic creed was to be nurtured with great care. Won't you sense these, provided that the stark realities of our current political economy?

Also, what makes you so hard to disbelieve that, age old democracies have a common ground in joining a 'walkathon' together, and which would be fully justified? Genetically, India cannot have such a walk-together with totalitarian regimes. Why, genetically?. The form of India is not that of a nation-state; but that of s federal-nation-state -hence the multiple statehoods by linguistics and by constitution? Here, an impositon of 'Non-Alignment' would be to get along with the 'doomed' --well, you wouldn't agree!

It is shameful that the number of women represntatives in our assembly is so meager. All, just boasting only or rather a hype that Kerala has better racial and sex equity.

Another thing among the 31 women MLAs (1957- 2006) many of them are under ‘widow reservation’ , this make the issue shocking!

I am working in Hyderabad ,I came across this site accidentally and I want to
congratulate every one behind this excellent unit.

Sarju's comment about a view: he state there is a social vision that Cast will be annihilated up on social revolution! Can you mention any name or section who preach such vision?

Hi editor,
NTs ikkare, I'm sure readers will eagerly waiting for next issues. My suggestion is to put the whole thing in one issue. Congrats to NT and the entire moonnamidam team. I hope to see more articles about Arabs in coming issues. Moonnamidam clearly do their mission -cultural interaction.

Dear friend,
thank you very much for moonnamidam. i had read earlier issues also. ananthalakshmi-sherrif interview -- what is unsaid is more depressing than what they said. enjoyed karunakaran's take on mangal pandey. also ramohan's passionate poetry.
but, there are problems regarding kuttaksharams like nta (as in venta, untu) and nDa (as in panDithan). i suppose they can be fixed easily.
affectionately

Dear Editor,

Moonamidam looks and reads nice. The interview with
the poet couple, Khalid and Nujoom, is highly useful
for it throws light on the latest development in Arab
poetry about which little is known in Malayalam
despite our long relation with the Peninsula.

Regards,

Dear sir,

Best wishes to team moonnamidam

Dear editor,

Your new web weekly is definitely going to the relief of readers for whom reading is not just a hobby. It reminds about the capability of letters to transcend through the enigmatic space between dead and alive, as every positive attempt does.

Congratulations.

Dear Friends ,

Congrats . A great second issue . Almost a metamorphoses. Unbelievably authentic. Keep it up. Can I ask for a bit of humor as well ?

Love,

Dear moonnamidam,
I have gone through your second issue. it is interesting. The photographic expat imaging is really a good thing to read and watch. As all of us know, not only male alone migrated to gulf- there are female migration. With professional and family visas. some of our female writers living here. so why cant try to have a women issue of moonnamidam. with many colors of life.
