The Man Who Walked Backwards and Other Stories by S Ramakrishnan

The Man Who Walked Backwards and Other Stories is an anthology of eighteen short stories by S. Ramakrishnan, the popular and critically acclaimed master of modern Tamil writing. The stories in this collection are a celebration of eccentricities: they feature characters who defy conventions, and who listen to their inner selves instead of conforming to familial and societal norms. There is the mother who swims endlessly to escape domesticity and abuse; an exceptional father and husband who leaves on a quest for selfhood; the thief who heals dogs and trees; the government clerk who goes around town counting pigeons; the man who walks only backwards; the estate-owner who builds a house with a hundred windows on a hilltop, but not for anyone to live in; the father and the son who measure rain; the forgotten poet who is despised by his own family; and many others whom the world does not understand.

Ramakrishnan graduated from Bharathidasan University Trichy with a bachelor's degree in electronics and communication engineering in 1998 and Madurai Kamaraj University Madurai with a mechanical engineering degree in communication systems in 2000. His Ph.D. was awarded to him. He graduated from Anna University in Chennai with a degree in Information and Communication Engineering in 2007. He has 12 years of teaching experience and 1 year of industry experience. He is a professor at Dr Mahalingam College of Engineering and Technology in Pollachi, India, and the head of the Department of Information Technology. Dr. Ramakrishnan serves on the editorial boards of 14 international publications, including IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IET Journals (previously IEE), ACM Computing Reviews Elsevier Science, International Journal of Vibration and Control, and IET Generation Transmission and Distribution, among others.

He is a member of the editorial boards of six worldwide publications. He is a guest editor for three international publications, including Springer's Telecommunication Systems Journal. He has 77 papers in international and national journals as well as conference proceedings to his credit. Ramakrishnan has written three books on computational approaches and speech processing, as well as reviews for McGraw Hill International Edition and ACM Computing Reviews.

In the Anna University of Technology-Coimbatore Board of Studies (BoS), he is the convenor of the IT board. He is in charge of ten PhD research scholars.
