A Note from the Founder
My appreciation of young writers, especially from Tamil Nadu state or elsewhere, is
therefore not simply praise for what they have already achieved. It is an acknowledgment
of what they may yet become. To encourage a young voice is to nurture the literature
of tomorrow

A Note from Dr. A. Arun Daves
As a writer, I know the small fear that comes before writing the first line. We wonder
whether our words are good enough, whether anyone will read them, whether what we feel
is worth putting down. But a writer writes because something within asks to be expressed,
and it does not wait for permission.

10. The Forest That Chooses
“Forest never forgets the footstep that wound it.”
The elders of Devavann – (Divine Forest) had repeated those words for centuries. To outsiders, they
were just another village surrounded by ordinary forest. But to the people who lived there, the forest
was not just a collection of trees to them. It was their protector, their home, their connection to earth.
The villagers believed that every river had a spirit, every tree carried a story, and every creature had
a purpose in the balance of nature.

I – Tree
I’m a Withered Teak
Which once stood Tall and mighty;
Now, alas but Broken to the core,
The bark of mine is as primeval as world,
I use my Leaves as a cover,
I once had strength of Hercules,
Now, I am cowering when a host sees me.
II – Mortal
As night sky loomed to view,
Mighty shadows emerge,
Each having numerous fingers,
That parties to the gust,
The sound to dominate,
The sensation to the touch,
Breezed like a whisper,
Telling something day by day,
To me, me alone,
All Night, always.
III – Birds

To spread messages round the world,
To spread messages of mortal,
To the Tree,
And rest awhile.

Though he tried to hold on

The school hallway was quiet, but her world was shattering. The boy she loved more than life itself
was walking away. He didn’t give a reason, and he didn’t look back—not even when she collapsed

safe place. Every single day without him felt impossible. She cried constantly, feeling entirely
empty.

Nature is not merely the collection of forests, rivers, mountains, animals and plants that surround us
but it is the foundation upon which our life’s existence. Long before human beings built cities,

system of balance and survival. Every sunrise teaches us about hope, every storm teaches us about
strength, and every changing season reminds us that change is an essential part of life.

Nobody believed me when I said the tree had spoken. My teacher offered a sympathetic smile and
suggested I had been tired that morning; my classmates laughed until their eyes watered and
christened me “the boy who talks to trees.” Even now, years later, I don’t blame them. If someone
had come to me with the same story, I might have laughed too. But I know what I heard that grey
morning above Darjeeling, and I have never once doubted it since.

in the branches, rabbits hid beneath bushes, deer drank from the stream, and thousands of tiny
insects lived among the grass.
