Sixty-nine-year-old V. Gangadharan Mankurissi, a former accountant with the Food Corporation of India, believes that one’s creativity blooms with superannuation. The number of books he published after his retirement from service seems to validate his theory.
The COVID-19 outbreak necessitated a long stay at home and took his creative zest to another level. Whereas he had published six books between 2012 and 2019, Mr. Gangadharan brought out 16 works during the period.
Among the books published are 11 anthologies of Malayalam poems, four Malayalam ‘khandakavyas’ (shorter form of a narrative poem with an epic style), and a numerical analysis text.
