BLESSED MOMENTS OF MY LIFE

Post by CRama »

In my recent visit to Trivandrum, there had been a few very special moments for me, when I felt blessed for what little I have done in my writings on Musicians of Kerala. Through this work, I got to know of many great musicians and got the opportunity to move closely with their family and disciples. As in my every visit to TVM, this time also I visited Smt Parassala Ponnammal Mami’s house in Valia chalai street, did Namaskaram and spent some time talking to her about her journey so far. Mami appreciated by article about her which appeared in Sruti magazine and wondered how I could garner so much information about her. While I took leave, Mami blessed me with a PONNADAI and a photo of the mural painting she got from the Navarathri Mandapam. I really felt blessed by her benevolence.

Another instance. I went to see Prof Venkatramanan- a retired professor of music who got Sangeetha Kala Acharya from Madras Music Academy in the year 2017. I had written about him in the Sruti magazine and he also complimented me for my article. While I took leave of him, he presented a high value jarika veshti and angavastram and blessed me.

I feel really fortunate to receive the blessings from these great personalities.

CRAMA,
I have seen for some years now your assiduous application in your chosen role of critic reviewer and particularly profiler of Kerala musicians. This is no mean achievement. Congratulations, CRama!

Respected Sir, Very glad about the blessings that you received from the great people whom you mentioned.
May I suggest that you give the Sruti magazine issue number where your articles on MalayaaLam artistes have appeared ? It will then be easier for readers to purchase those issues on line. I explored all the individual issues last week. )
Best Regards.
