I owe it to my
parents Edasseri Govindan Nair and E. Janaki
Amma, both of whom were writers. My mother
ceased to write when she got married, a great
sacrifice in that it helped my father to devout
all his energy to write poems and plays, in
short to be a writer and social reformer. Ever
since
she sacrificed her literary career at the altar
of her husband's greater efforts at an early
age, she wanted at least one of us to step in
where she had stopped. She was happy when I
started writing and encouraged me a lot. It is
to these parents who have bestowed on me a lot
of love, affection and encouragement, that I
dedicate this portal.
