Recognition for her novel Budhini
Writer Sarah Joseph has been selected for the Odakkuzhal Award 2021 for her novel Budhini.
This is the 51st Odakkuzhal Award, said a communication here. The award was instituted by poet G. Sankara Kurup and has been given away since 1968.
The award comprises ₹30,000 and a citation. It will be given away by critic M. Leelavathi on the 44th death anniversary of G. Sankara Kurup, which falls on February 2.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
