Kannur: Train passengers of north Kerala have came out with a magazine
to give vent to their literary expression which they penned during their
fascinating train journey.

The train commuters of north Kerala conceived the novel idea of coming
out with a coloured Magazine -- Pathikante Kayyoppu (Impression of The
Traveller) -- to give fellow passengers a rare opportunity to pen down
poems, short stories and their thoughts on contemporary issues.

The magazine was released by short story writer V R Sudheesh by handing
over the first copy to Kannur railway station manager T P K Shivadas at
a simple function inside a coach of an express train, stationed here for
a while in the afternoon.

The magazine has vivid and fascinating narration, written both in prose
and verses, on their varying experiences aptly utilising spare time
during day-to-day train journeys, topic on politics, society,
environment.

The publishers received accolades from eminent persons including Chief
Minister V S Achuthanandan, Education Minister M A Baby, local MPs and
MLAs who wished them success in their venture, saying a magazine of its
kind was rare.
