Kerala In Mumbai records with deep sorrow the passing of Dr. C. N. N. Nair (Dr. Kavungal C. N. Narayanan Nair), a respected writer, novelist, and distinguished voice of the Mumbai Malayalee literary circle, who passed away this morning at his Bangalore residence.
A prolific author, Dr. Nair made significant contributions to Malayalam literature through his stories and writings, earning recognition for several works, including his recent publications “ബാല്യം ദീപ്തം – എന്റെ ഏറ്റുമാനൂർ സ്മരണകൾ” and “ഭക്തി മഞ്ജുഷ”. His unique graphical interpretations—blending English literature with engineering concepts, aesthetics, and analytical clarity—were widely admired.
Dr. Nair was a familiar and beloved presence on Mumbai’s literary platforms and a regular contributor to Kerala In Mumbai magazine in its earlier years. His passing leaves a void in the cultural and literary life of the community.
Kerala In Mumbai extends heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and admirers. May his soul rest in peace.
