Talk:Devan (writer)

Untitled

90% of this article, and the links, reffer to Devan as a "he'. The final section calls Devan a "she". Surely some correction or additional information is in order?66.41.66.213 18:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Somebody with the power to do so, please go through and ban every single IP address that has vandalized this page. They're all obviously the same idiot.

Changes

I've made the minimum of changes; mainly to bring the structure in line with Wikipedia guidelines. I've also swapped the person infobox for the writer-specific one.

The final paragraph, entitled 'Devan's Life', was moved here:

“ Devan was a compassionate person. Devan was well-known for his love of the Tamil God, Murugan. His house was called "The Pool Place" (the abode of Lord Murugan). In his stories, he usually included references to several Murugan temples in Tamil Nadu, be it Vadapalani or Thiruchendur.

Devan's love for food was evident in all his writings. He is known to have enjoyed several varieties of sweets and pickles with his food. His stories often describe food items prepared in pure ghee, nothing else would do!

Devan died on May 5, 1957 due to illness, although his writings are still appreciated.
