}}Thinakkal Padmanabhan, popularly known as T. Padmanabhan, is an Indian short story writer. He is considered one of the greatest short fiction writers in Malayalam language and is credited with bringing modern Malayalam literature nearer to the subjective intensity of the lyric.[1]

Life

T. Padmanabhan was born on 1 January 1931 in a poor family at Pallikunnu near Kannur, Kerala. He was the youngest of the four children born to Puthiyidath Krishnan Nair and Devaki (Ammukutty). His father died when he was still a baby and it was his mother and the eldest brother who looked after him during his childhood.[1]

He completed his education from Chirakkal Raja's High School, Mangalore Government Arts College and Madras Law College. During his early schooling in Kannur, Padmanabhan was active in student politics, participating in the Independence struggle. Subsequently, he graduated in Law and started his practice in Thalassery and Kannur courts. By this time, he had already established himself as a budding writer and M. K. K. Nair,[2] a known arts enthusiast and then chairman and managing director of F A C T, invited him to join the company. Padmanabhan joined F.A.C.T. and slowly rose to be the head of Materials Division and retired in 1989 as its Deputy general manager. In between, he had a string of legal tussles with the company after M. K. K. Nair left F A C T ((Reminiscences on Television).[3]

Padmanabhan is married and the couple has no children. He now lives a retired life in Kannur.

He is a Nature lover and has a great collection of variety of Roses. Also being an ardent Cat lover , his home always has numerous cats walking freely.

Literary career

He started writing at the age of 19[4] and has written more than 170 stories. Prakasam Parathunna Oru Penkutty (The Girl Who Spreads Radiance, 1955), Oru Kathakrithu Kurishil (A Story Writer being Crucified, 1956), Makhan Singhinte Maranam (The Death of Makhan Singh, 1958), Kala Bhairavan, Gouri (1993) and Maraya (2017)[5] are some of his major works. His stories have been translated in almost every Indian languages and foreign languages such as Russian, French and English. He received the Vayalar Award in 2001 for his story Puzha Kadannu Marangalude Edayileku. He has also received Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award, Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award, Vallathol Award and Lalithambika Andharjanam Award.

T. Padmanabhan has been credited with bringing the modern Malayalam short story nearer to the subjective intensity of the lyric. It is said that when the short story reached a saturation point as a result of the repeated depiction of romantic idealism and social commitment that T. Padmanabhan emerged on the scene with arguably a unique and highly individualistic idiom.[6]

In his book A Short History of Malayalam Literature, K. Ayyappa Panicker notes,

{{quote|What appeals most to his readers in all his early and recent stories is the lyrical quality of the language and the aesthetics of his perceptions, especially in the portrayal of loneliness and helplessness.[7]
