That the Kenyan attack in the shopping mall is raging is known.
What is being lost amidst this den is the fact there were American Militants though the US is claiming that there were no Americans.
Probably the US is learning from China denying everything from earthquake as though it is the Administrations fault!
Truth may emerge but the involvement of Americans will remain in the realm of speculation.
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.
