The Jaanapeetam Committee Meets at Rayar’s Café

Through a satirical dialogue at a Mylapore café, this article mocks the superficiality and lack of transparency inherent in prestigious literary awards like the "Jaanapeetam." It critiques the committee’s trivial decision-making processes and the use of recycled, cliché-ridden citations for "literary giants." Ultimately, the piece suggests that while literary accolades are performative and fleeting, the simple consistency of a good cup of coffee is the only thing truly timeless.
