Sir first to say I am not a musician or a music scholar!!I live in Irinjalakuda 10 km away from “Manakkalappady” (Vellangalloore Panchayath) a place where music legend N.C. .Vasanthakokilam was born in 1919 !!!Her birth home “kunnathu madom” is there adjacent to a Devi temple!!! In the same compound a lady with her family and her elder sister live!!!! To my understanding their grand father Subramanyam was the brother of Nagapattinam Chandrasekhara Ayer the father of NCV!!!!(Journalist K.Ramachandran”s father was another son of Subramanyam)!!!
In life NCV faced so many setbacks !! Her family society and even music community isolated her!!! Unfortunately she died in the young age of 32!!!Had she lived longer she would have outshined MS!!!Now no body is there to remember her!!
Birth centenary of MS (1916-2004) is celebrated !!Birth centenary celebrations of Pattammal (1919 -2009) is going on !!!
Sir write an article on NCV !! Don”t she deserves such a minimum justice? !! !!
I am told that “Sachi” was short for Sachidanandam and not Sadashivan. Not sure how good his memory is 🙂
