Mizoram: CM Zoramthanga releases 13 books of Governor Sreedharan Pillai

Aizawl, Aug 08:-- Mizoram Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai did not let the Corona virus induced lockdown go in vain, but made use of his free time at the Raj Bhavan by writing books and poems. He has written at least 13 books, which include collections of poems in English and Malayalam since March. Chief Minister Zoramthanga released some of Governor's books at a function on Saturday.

His two books - "Republic Day 2020" and "Thus Speaks the Governor" - was released on Saturday by Guwahati High Court Chief Justice Ajai Lamba, which are related to his official speeches as governor.

The governor is of the notion that politicians and public workers must have the habit of reading books to educate the mass.

Ten of his poems, including "Corona Kavithakal" in Malayalam, are related to Covid-19. "Corona Kavithakal" deals with philosophical questions in pandemic times and his another poem Vayojanam (Elderly) centres around the theme of human helplessness and how humanity helps people in tackling the pandemic. The poem Mahamari (Pandemic) asserts the power of human will to take on adversities.

The poem "Wuhan" talks about how the ancient city and former capital of China was suppressed due to Covid and how human beings can play a vital role to rebuild the glory of the city. Oh, Mizoram, is a collection of poems in English, in which he talks about the scenic beauty and richness of the hilly northeastern state.

"No visits are allowed inside Raj Bhavan. My communication with the public is also restricted and all my scheduled travels are suspended for the time being. This means more time for reading and writing," he said.

CM Zoramthanga took to Twitter to extend greetings to the Governor. After attending the function he tweeted, "Attended inauguration of 13 books prepared by Shri. PS Shreedharan Pillaiji @psspillaigov, Governor of Mizoram during Covid-19 pandemic consisting of Malayalam poems namely ‘Corona Kavithakal’#CoronaKavithakal

#RepublicDay2020 #ThusSpeaksTheGovernor"

Pillai took to writing more than three decades ago. His first book was published in 1983. Before he became the governor he had published 105 books. So far, he has written at least 121 books of different categories, including poetry. He is now writing four books and 90 per cent of them have already been completed.
