PB Sreenivas,The Golden Voice Stilled.Tribute
The mellifluous voice that enthralled the music lovers of Tamil,Kannada,and Telugu people is no more. A simple man who could sing effortlessly in all the languages of India with perfect local accent and linguist passed away in Chennai on 14 , the Tamil New Year’s Day yesterday . I met him in Hotel Woodlands Drive in Restaurant, Chennai,which is his favorite haunt, when I was studying my Degree between 1967-70. He used to sit in the Drive in , wit ha cloth shoulder bag, about a dozen pens, and a thick ruled note book-with a plate of Rava Kitchdi in front of him. I approached him and started talking to him as if I knew him about his various songs. I asked him why he had so many pens with him(can you think of any thing more silly to ask of a legend? ) He replied that he could write well in about 12 languages, including Sanskrit , pen poems and lyrics and used a different pen for each language. He added that he had written about one lakh poems, this he expressed as a matter of fact, no airs! He was so humble that he spent nearly 20 minutes with a green horn with out any airs. PBS would pronounce words as he is afraid that he might hurt the words.
