My dear and respected sir, you are a guru of mine. You taught me drama and English language. You are no more. Exactly one month ago on 04th May 2024 when I was departing from you after giving you a much loved hug at Stouffville Markham hospital in Toronto we both felt that, that may be our last meeting. Now I am very sad that you have gone .You are a multi talented and multi faceted getleman with noble qualities. With your tutelage only I managed to produce two historical Tamil shortfilms namely Maveeran Pandara Vanniyan (Last king of Vanni) and Sankili Kumaran (Last King of Jaffna.) You honourd all of us by participating as Chief Guest to release these videos in Canada in 2019. Up until your death at the age of 96 you were tirelessly writing and contributing to the society that you loved most. I am very proud to claim that I was a student and a relative of yours. May your soul rest in peace .Om Shanthi shanthi shanthi.
