The second day of the International Literature Festival of Kerala paid handsome tributes to legendary writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair. At the main venue, the day was reserved entirely for sessions on MT, under the theme “MT: Kaalaṁ, Katha, Kaazhcha.” Panels such as “MT: Kadhayum Kaalavum,” “MT: Jeevitha Pusthakam,” “MT-yude Novalukal,” and “MT: Puthu Kaalam, Puthu Vayana” drew large crowds of admirers.
Complementing the sessions was a unique photography exhibition by literary photographer Manoj D. Vaikkam, who reimagined MT’s celebrated novels Naalukettu and Manju through evocative visual frames at the Thrissur Fine Arts College.
