Dear J
I have been listening to lectures continuously. Today, after the arrival of YouTube, you can listen whenever you want. One of the most useful things in train travel is listening to lectures. I love your texts. It is as if they are talking to us privately. Even your confusions and hesitations are known. If you listen with your eyes closed, it will be like speaking from near. I don’t really care for professional speeches with high pitches. They can be heard on stage. Listening with an earphone stuck in the ear is not so healing.
Ajith’s maitri acceptance speech was amazing in recent speeches. He speaks as if he were talking to himself without any use for the stage. And he wants to tell the listeners something important and not just a treat as you say. Both his views on literature were profound and innovative.

Dear J
Ajithan’s Maitri Jushya acceptance speech is an excellent speech. Never expected. I thought it was a regular thank you. But very naturally he touches on some domains that have not been spoken in Tamil before. What he has to say about writing that develops through multiple arts is important. Thomas says it naturally through Mann’s comment about Wagner. A more important point is what he says about the difference between poetry and prose. The allusion of prose is entirely different from that of poetry. Ajith’s reading and clarity are amazing. Wagner, Thomas Mann, and Nietzsche are some of the most subtle thinkers we’ve talked about here. It is surprising to know what a novelist like Maithri can absorb.
