1945

K. Ravindran (1945–2011), better known by his pen-name Chintha Ravi, was an Indian writer, journalist, film critic and film director.

Born in Kannadikkal in Kozhikode as the son of Kunnummal Krishnan and Lakshmi, Ravindran studied at Kozhikode Malabar Christian School, Malabar Christian College, and did a journalism course at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Mumbai.

He started his sojourn into literature with Athiranippookkal a children's book published by National Book Stall.

He was only a pre-degree student then.

Although he was not too politically active during his school and college days, Ravindran's association with reading rooms and libraries with Leftist leanings led him to the path of discussion and thought.

He began his professional writing career with Searchlight where cinema was a specific subject of his words.

He soon joined Communist Party of India's ideological journal Chintha and later became a member of the editorial board of the weekly, which earned him the pen-name Chintha Ravi.

He also worked for a while with the Kalakaumudi weekly.

His association with Kalakaumudi led him to the world of travelogues with "Ente Yathrakal".

As a writer, he is best known for his travelogues like Swiss Sketchukal, Akalangalile Manushyar and Buddha Patham.

Akalangalile Manushyar (Men in Distant Places) was the result of his journeys to remote villages of India.

Buddha Patham not only focused on India, but also his tours abroad, including the heart of Europe.

Ente Keralam won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award for Best Travelogue.

1988

His film Ore Thooval Pakshikal (1988), featuring music by G. Aravindan, won many accolades including the Kerala State Film Award for Best Film.

He also directed several documentaries including the national award-winning Maunam Sowmanasyam, a documentary on G. Aravindan.

His films were inspired by the Neo-Gramscianist theories.

1990
