I had the fortune of meeting Gireesh Puthenchery at East Coast Studios in Trivandrum. I was there to sing a track song for M G Radhakrishnan sir and Pappechi introduced me to him. I still can’t forget the smile on his face. He turned to me while chewing the betel leaves and when the talk of beginners started, he recalled his initial days as a song writer and about the beginning of his friendship with M G Radhakrishnan sir whom he called Rajettan.
Dear poet, Thank You for all the beautiful songs you penned. Thank you for the movie Vadakkumnathan, which I loved so much because it reminded me about my friend who took his own life a couple of years back. From today, everyone in Kerala will miss you so much whenever we hear your songs…
