"What are the various innovations you have tried during your long and distinguished literary career and with what results. Sir? What was the motivation behind these, L e. was it technical, or intellectual or emotional? Or, Sir, did you just want to pursue novelty for the sake of novelty? Sir, is it for one to be modernistic and possible traditional at the same time? What precisely is the scope for experimentation within the framework of tradition? In other words,

In my opinion an author can be made modernistic a.nd traditional. In my opinion, the traditional makes the book live long and the modernistic makes the author, the author of the times.

Question
Sir,

4:

what is your conception of an individualist, committed to a social purpose? Is it possible - Is it desirable at all? for a
creative writer to

be involved in extra-literary problems on which depends the very future of the community to which he belongs? For example, Sir, are you aware of the criticism
that your novels such as the 'Veyipadaealu* and 'Cheliyahkatta' are full of extra-artistic
irrelevances
