Vairamuthu becomes Arasavai Kavingar

'Kaviperarasu' Vairamuthu will soon become Arasavai Kavingar (Court Poet) of Tamil Nadu Assembly. The post, created by the former Chief Minister MGR, was first occupied by Pulavar Pulamaipithan and then it was offered to Muthulingam. Since then no one has been appointed as Arasavai Kavingar till the date.

Now Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi, the CM, is said to have decided to have the renowned lyricist cum poet Vairamuthu in the prestigious seat. Vairamuthu, who has written outstanding lyrics for hundreds of films, has also penned number of poems. Apart from the poetry, he has also mastered the art of prose writing. He has written excellent novels like Kallikkaattu Ithihasam.

Vairamuthu has received the President's award for the Best Lyricist for his lyrics in movies for five times. He is the only lyricist in India to have received the award so many times. He has also received the prestigious Sahitya Academy Award for his outstanding novel 'Kallikkaattu Ithihasam'. He was also conferred with the honor of Padma Shri in 2003.

The honor of being the Arasavai Kavingar of Tamil Nadu Assembly will add a new jewel to his glittering crown. The official announcement is expected to be made soon.
