Many who read the article called me over the phone to enquire whether I had any previous personal enmity with him, because there was so much venom in his words! Infact I had never met him nor known him in my life!! I was really surprised by the fact that a reputed weekly like Mathrubhumi had given him a space of four pages for him to launch his attack entitled " Doesn't Ramachandra Babu know these people?"

Page 4M.K.Hari Kumar who writes the literary column AKSHARA JALAKAM /1793 in Kala Kaumudi weekly wrote a scathing remark, condemning the un-warrented personal attack on me by K.P.Nirmal Kumar. I thank him for his righteousness.
Kala Kaumudi - AKSHARA JALAKAMInterestingly K.P.Nirmal Kumar had made this remark in Facebook -
" I read Hari's column with utmost interest, even if occasionally hurts my ego. He sure can demolish established beliefs with a sharp observation, not laboriously made."

Though K.B. Venu and many of my friends like Cinematographer Sunny Joseph, Script writer Anil Mugathala responded with their reaction to Mathrubhumi Weekly, they were not published. However my rejoinder was published in the Feb 14, 2010 issue.
Mathrubhumi - My ReplyP.S
Mr.K.P.Nirmal Kumar had later on sent me a message on Facebook saying that he had no intention of hurting me and that he wrote on camera artists as a layman.( Because it was a personal message I am not disclosing the full details!)
