| Summary, etc. | Random Thoughts' is a collection of 51 essays written by Thiru. V. Irai anbu, a senior IAS officer of Tamil Nadu, under a fortnightly column in the Madurai edition of THE HINDU Metroplus over 100 weeks.<br/><br/>For V. Irai anbu who is famous for his writing and oratorical skills in Tamil, this was a maiden sally into popular English writing. He chose his topics at random, from nature and human behaviour. Each essay of about 600 words contains words of wisdom from a man who has an unquestionable depth of knowledge. Random Thoughts' is not an exercise in pontification but a portrayal of human behaviour and beliefs.<br/><br/>V. Irai anbu in 'Random Thoughts', attempts to help the reader visualize abstract qualities through appropriate use of metaphor and imagery. All the essays are laced with subtle humour that has a functional use. They need not be read as a philosophic treatise but as a common man's observations of human nature. It is like standing in front of a mirror and laughing at one's own deficiencies.<br/><br/> |
