I remember that day
39 years ago, at the launch of our Sri Lankan Broadcasting Corporation, veteran announcer Rajaguru Senathipathi Kanakaratnam and Adiyenum – with the young Ilayaraja.
As a silhouette, he recorded on his camera- (actor Prashanth's father) 'The waves never rest' Thiagarajan. I inquired from him through 'Messenger' to confirm the year. The answer came within seconds.
