Hi as a tribute to sujatha, anandavikadan is serialising his writings. today's issue was about a fabulous cricket match in srirangam. it reminds me of ananda vikadans one year tribute in 1955 for kalki- a year with every issue having some of his writing. sure these guys are professionals when they come to pay a tribute.
Yes gokul ananda vikadan went out of the way to honour kalki on his death.
inspite of the bad vibes between kalki and vasan they stopped a issue half way and printed kalki's photo on the wrapper. the one year of his articles came out recently as " kalki valartha tamil"
Its been some time since I have penned in the forum
Good to see Swetha ,Seethalaxmi madam and Suji back.
Very many discussions it ll take ages to catch and respond
August meeting Excellent Idea..It would mark the 1000th Year of Consecration of Big Temple Any plans to combine with the Sadayam...or even have an awareness day on the BT?
I remember when Kumudham used to let individuals prepare a weekly issue. When Sujatha did it, there was a article where he mentions that he asked his wife to write something and she had threatened him with "I WILL EVERYTHING", and Sujatha responded with "No man is a hero to his wife" ! I would never forget that line.
Just finished reading that.. Looked as if it was written just yesterday. I still can't believe he is no longer living.. Like Kalki, he will never be forgotten and new generations will keep reading his texts...
If I remember right, Sujatha's 'Srirangathu Devathaigal' has an article about this cricket match. I think Sujatha mentions how happy he felt seeing his photo in the newpaper the next day, though it was a local match and a local news at a corner of the paper.

exactly the same one sathish. i think it came under srirangathu kathaikal
and sujatha did not get a photo , just a mention as rangarajan. scored something like 8-9 runs.
but he recalls a college match where he was umpire and gives a wrong lbw desicion. has to be escorted safely thro the toilets after the match as the " baathikkapatta batsman" is after him with a pen knife.
