Riding with Ravan

About the author

Author, Poet, Innovator, Surgeon

A pen is mightier than a scalpel. A person who wields a knife can influence only one life at a time. A quill can touch many.

A surgeon with the unique experience of working in six countries over four continents, Dr Anantha Ramanathan has had the rare opportunity of interacting with people from over a hundred countries. This exposure to different cultures is reflected in his writings. He writes under the penname Ezhuth Aani which means a pen. A deep yearning for social justice, inclusiveness and equality as well as celebration of the written word are the guiding principles in Ezhuth's creations.

Having published an anthology of poems in Tamil in 2013, Ezhuth soon followed this with two novels in Tamil, In English Ezhuth has published I am the Lord, Another Tale of Two Cities, and bRAINBOW. His fourth novel, Riding with Ravan came out on March 25 2021. A second edition was released on Jan 26 2022. Painted Surgeon was published on November 11 2021.
