I, Nirmaldasan, chose to stay well behind the times so that my life could be affected by an air of rustic simplicity. But the urban mainstream was not without its charms. Its current of temptations was too strong for me to resist. Else why should I seek a place on the Net?
I did my M.Phil under the guidance of Dr. Nirmal Selvamony. Titled 'A Quantitative Analysis Of Media Language', the dissertation discusses the strain index, a readability formula that I developed when I was a working journalist with The Hindu. Many of my articles have been published by Vidura, a quarterly journal of the Press Institute of India. My weblog Readability Monitor keeps track of plain language.
I have written more than 150 editorials on various media issues in Journalism Online. I have also written an article in Tamil titled 'Tolkappiam Chuttum Cheithi Iyal' at media studies.
