ചിദംബര സ്മരണ | Chidambara Smarana

This is a collection of very personal memories of renowned Malayalam poet Balachandran Chullikkad. The accounts of poverty, lessons learned from bitter experiences, shortcomings of self and confessions makes it a very disturbing read. It portrays the rebellious poet's mind as an outsider who defies and fights the conventional life, yet falls short of escaping it's trappings. I remembered another book, Murivukal by Soorya Krishnamoorthy while reading this which had a similar sensibility and sincerity.

This book was really interesting to read and being non fiction it was a very valuable and educational one indeed.The reading was easy and fluid.It was disappointing when u finished the last chapter and realize there's nothing more to read.
