Remembering the Maesteros

Although a very late post, still wanted to remember the gurus - Sujata and Kunnakudi.

While Sujata made a revolution in Tamil Story world by his novel approach on bringing science to the ordinary reader and in a variety of topics - from fiction to comedy to melodrama to horror to family to serious essays. Everything was new - no two alike. I enjoyed every piece of his work and I accept that he made a big difference in shaping my life. His earlier attempts in film industry was a bit unsuccessful until he came a a big bang when successful directors like Mani Ratnam and Shankar identified his immense potential and could not leave him from their movies. I can write hundreds of pages about him and want to write some day...

Another legend that made a big difference on the western subtle instrument violin with a high scale percussion instrument Thavil. The man with a smile always - Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan. He had a charm to attract several kinds of fans - the serious puritans to the casual listener. Although I like every work of his, my favorites were Colors and Kaveri - best of his creativity.

We miss these legends...
