My article published...

I returned to blog yesterday after a break…the break just happened, though I had a lot of things to write about…maybe the 50 blogs really overwhelmed me…though I was not blogging, I was thinking about my ‘not blogging’…my lack of enthusiasm and also wondered whether I should stop at 50…but in the end I think wiser counsel prevailed…I don’t know about all of you out there, but I have come back…I felt really sad when I read the news of Vidwan Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan’s demise and remembered the episode which I recounted in my previous post...

The week that ended brought in a couple of happy surprises…one was tinged with embarrassment and was tricky…let me tell you the‘full’ happy surprise…

I had mentioned in one of my previous posts that one of my research papers had been accepted for publication by the journal Translation Today…on Friday I received a mail from one of the editors (Prof. Giridhar) saying that the issue in which my article is published is now online and that I could see it…this journal has both online and print versions and the online version comes out first…and I personally feel that this is one of the important and intellectually stimulating journals on translation related subjects in India today (I am saying this not because they published my paper)…and since this journal is online (www.anukriti.net) and free, interested readers can see this for themselves…

My article is on the novels translated into Kannada by B. Venkatacharya…and it is called “B. Venkatacharya’s Novels in the Kannada Literary Polysystem and the Founding of the Novel in Kannada” and it can be seen and read at http://www.anukriti.net/tt6/article1/page1.asp ... I request readers of my blogsite to please visit this page and I would be happy to receive your comments, criticisms, suggestions, praise…
