A great poem. You are really a knowledge man but very down to the earth. I appreciate your incessant quest for knowledge dear poet... great
I doubt verily whether I deserve all the good words you write about me. But reading has been my prime interest since childhood. Even now.
When I was working, I used to return home a little late from work, but never omitted to devote time for books. Used to read upto 1.00 O'clock in the morning, almost every day, before I go to sleep. Now I am retired and have all the time to spend with my books
I am not sure whether the eulogies you've showered on me are really due to me. But thank you. And deeply obliged.
Revisiting this poetic gem that always touches the heart. Wonderful story imbued with moral lesson that we must inculcate in our mind and implore as a way of life. Always pleasure to read this brilliant write! !
Thank you for revisiting this page and more words of appreciation
An excellent write rhat depicts the culture of a great country. The Poet's Notes are so informative. Beautifully and brilliantly written.
Part 2 Thank you for reading through this story-poem, and marking your appreciation. I thought that I have to post the entire background and explanation on the Malayalam words so that poets of international community are able to understand the poem with more clarity. Thank you. Obliged.

The caste hierarchy and the resultant untouchability was a blot on india’s And Kerala’s Social system. It was prevalent all over India. And it was Gandhiji who spent a life time fighting against this malady. There were many hundreds of castes and a few hundreds of them were untouchable. There is a novel by the famous writer Premchand, named “Achhuut Kanya” (meaning, the untouchable girl) . Continued
Coming to this poem of " The Untouchable God" , i am so touched. A beautiful story so well narrated. You have taken a lot of effort to explain the Malayalam words. A marvellous poem, Unni.......10
Thank you, Geeta. For reading this poem and expressing your appreciation. As you have read in the poem, I have used the background of “untouchability “, to make a statement on HUMANITARIAN VALUES.” You are my Guru in this. Thank you Geeta.
Hi Unni, I am returning to your poems after quite a while. Apologies! have been tied up with my programmes. Hence, could spend very little time here except to post my poems, now and then. Thank you for all the reviews of my poems.
It is my pleasure to read your “First Day, First Show”😃. I am a fan of your poems, as you would have noticed.
