‘Kar2nist’ is my ‘non-de-plume’. My name is T.V.G Menon and I am a amateur kar2nist. I have not had any formal training in this field. Way back when I was working in Chennai was when I tried my hand first at kar2ning for our Technical House Magazine . It went under the title ‘ LOST LOFF ‘ . Naturally all those creations were technical in nature and centered around my own specialised field of engineering, namely Protection of Large Power Systems and Equipment.
I did some general kar2ns also for another of our house magazines ( we had 4 in all ). In 1991 I got a small break and started contributing supporting kar2ns for the humorous articles and features that appeared regularly in the then ‘Week End Express’. This lasted for about 2 years.
After I shifted to Kochi following retirement I hibernated for about 8 years. A few months back I enrolled myself as a member of the ‘Kerala Kart2n Accademy ‘ and am now slowly finding my lost feet .
