100 Lectures on 100 Poets -A Literary Achievement
100 Lectures on 100 Poets
-A Literary Achievement
From 8-8-1995 to 25-11-2008, I had been asked by the literary wing of Y.M.C.A.Esplanade, (Chennai) to give a serial lecture on Contemporary Tamil poets.
The serial started on Eighth of August 1995 and on 25-11-2008(i.e. last month) I delivered the 100th lecture. Why it took Thirteen years? Usually there will not be any meeting in the month of May. From 1997 to 1998 I went on a foreign assignment, as a Visiting Professor at University of California, Berkeley.During the years 2006(June), 2007(January February) and 2008 (July August) I went on foreign trips thereby missing the chance of lecturing for four months. These interruptions delayed
The chance of fulfilling the 100th lecture at an earlier date.
But even then I am sure; nobody in the earth would have delivered continuously Hundred Lectures on Hundred contemporary poets.
The dates will be notified later after going through the records of Y.MC.A.Literary wing.
Do you agree it as an achievement? If so how could we record it in an international document? I expect your valuable suggestions regarding this?
