TRIBUTE
he was a simple, unassuming man
a man of few words but of ready wit
spartan in his life style and a stoic to boot
a man who barely finished school
but was nevertheless well read
always doing the little and big things
that needed doing around the house and outside
a man who knew his Saviour
a man who served his country
by no means perfect but
full of sterling human qualities
one who taught himself music
(yet couldn’t carry a note!)
a great grand son of the
Venerable Vednayagam Sastriar of Tanjore
I am talking about my father, who would be One hundred and eight today
the 24th of September 2024
(this blog-site was launched 16 years ago to the day)
Remembering with fondness and respect
VINCENT VEDANAYAGAM
P.S. Were he alive, my mother and he would also celebrate their 77th Wedding Anniversary this very day
