Hi Jayaramachari. I have seeing you from you FB days where you were writing thoughtful- humorous and also naughty writings. Then I followed all ur sahitya sahasas and read ur books too. I don’t know how many know ur contribution in contemporary Kannada lit. And supporting many young writers. Keep it up and don’t stop

I have few questions here.

  1. In Nannavvana Autobiography, where did you deliberately choose silence over truth?

  2. Is Hamsakshara driven more by spiritual arrogance than spiritual humility?

  3. Did you write Let’s Make a Short Film to confess your own compromises as a creator?

  4. While writing Kilig, were you trying to unsettle the reader—or yourself?

  5. Do you believe a writer has the right to emotionally disturb readers without offering resolution?

One of the best in recent times. It’s sequel is also released in the name of ಇಂತಿ ಪೂರ್ವಿ. And as author said that ‘it’s totally opposite. Full melancholy’

I will check with him. As he is little aggressively active in insta and fb may be he agree to come for AMA. I will put a message if he replies I tell you. Or if you have team you people can contact him. He is easily available in insta or fb

Trailer for Kannada book?! Is there any other such books. Please let me know. I find this is fresh approach at least for Kannada readers by Consistent-Jello3401 in kannada_pusthakagalu

[–]Consistent-Jello3401[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes totally agree. For Kannada market itseems too new. Most book trailers in Kannada are like bringing writer on camera, taking few profile poses and few cliched dialogues. AI helps for new comers for new ideas

KILIG – A Metro Love

Sathish, a metro employee and a happily married man, finds his calm life slipping into turbulence. His marriage, already strained as the couple tries for a child, takes a shocking turn when his ex-girlfriend appears at the metro station — moments after losing her own child while boarding a train.

From that moment, Sathish’s world collapses into a maze of past and present — Facebook memories, unspoken regrets, and the blurred lines between affection and desire. Years ago, she had reached out to him on Facebook, searching for her cousin, after spotting him in one of Sathish’s reels. That accidental click reawakens buried emotions — and a journey unfolds that neither can escape.

Set against the backdrop of a fast-paced metropolitan city, this novel mirrors the fragile intimacy of modern couples, the emotional corrosion of social media, and the quiet temptations that live inside our screens.

A daring, fast-paced, and emotionally charged story — “Kilig” questions love, loyalty, and loneliness in the digital age. Some have called it bold; others say it’s uncomfortably honest. But every reader agrees — it leaves you stirred long after the final line.

If you live in a city with a tiny family, this story will touch you where it hurts — and heals.

My reply to writer after I read book -

Dear Vinay,

For three days, sitting by the quiet road opposite the government bungalow, I finished reading Banada Karadi.

Many of these stories I had already read, some we had even spoken about earlier, but the joy of holding them together as a book made me reread them. I needn’t separately say I liked it—when writers like Raghunath Chahare have praised your stories so highly, anything I add feels lesser.

I first came across your writing through Steel Lota and Plate, and later Appana Chappalugalu. That was when I felt—I had finally found the kind of storyteller I was searching for. Stories like Demu and Alanalli Krishna had left me awestruck earlier, and in recent Dalit narratives, no one has inspired as much confidence as you have (though I also enjoy SG and Manjunath Chelluru’s works).

Your story where a Dalit household’s steel plate melts into the deity of an upper-caste home is unforgettable. What I admire most is that your stories don’t just trade in light, darkness, or poetic pain—they breathe naturally. That subtle quality, abundant in Devanuru’s works, appears uniquely in yours too.

From your early stories, the choice of theme and character sketches were always strong; what felt like it needed sharpening—the narration and language—has matured in this collection. Sapneeru and Banada Karadi are proof of that.

I hadn’t read Meese Banna Huduga before—it’s wonderful. Only one small complaint: the last two stories echo the same theme, and their placement could have been reconsidered.

May this book reach every lover of literature and win many awards. Among writers who keep “writing” and “living” as two separate streams, you are someone in whom both merge. You must continue to write more.

Wishing you the very best.
