Regret to know of the sad demise of Thiru Professor Pas Pasupathi.
we have lost a walking encyclopedia of Tamil language, Tamil culture . Tamil literature and music. He was another Roja Muthiah with a huge digitized data of old Tamil magazines, with thousands of metalinks in his neurons.
When I was writing my novel Ramojium with a 1940s background, I approached him for info on the then suburban Madras which he provided instantly and in abundance. The same is true about year before yesteryear’s Tamil cinema.
For a Professor Emeritus of a leading Canadian University, it was extraordinary that he assumed a humble demeanour , always approachable.
The erudite electronics professor’s book Kavithai Ezhuthi Kalakku (கவிதை எழுதிக் கலக்கு) is a sort of Poetry for Dummies, immenesly readable.
I pray for Pasupathi sir’s noble soul attaining the lotus feet of Ambalapuzha Srikrishna
