Today marks the fifth anniversary of the passing away of my dear wife . Though living without Prabha has been a reality, I had decided to celebrate her memory instead of mourning her death by undertaking a number of activities under Prabha Rajan Talent Foundation( PRTF) which I founded in 2013. In 2017 PRTF continued to sponsor writing contest for women in a ladies magazine, published books of budding women writers, offered talent scholarship to deserving students etc..
The two films based on Prabha`s short stories produced by
PRTF which were first screened at the fourth anniversary function last year
have been received well by viewers on You Tube as well as at private
showings. Impressed by the film
`Thayumanaval`, my good friend R.T.Chari of the Tag group fame commissioned
Rajeshwari Anand, the talented director
of the film to produce a film based on a short story titled `VEEDU` written by Sahithya Academy award winning
author, Indira Parthasarathy. It looks like Rajeshwari is likely to get more such
assignments making her realize one of her dreams of producing more films based on fictions. One of the important objectives of
PRTF is to bring to limelight talented women and I am glad 2017 witnessed
Rajeshwari getting her due recognition from people who matter.
Though no special programme has been planned for the Fifth
Anniversary, the family intends to have a special feast on 7th evening for the
students of the Corporation School in Damodharapuram in
Adyar & Thiruvanmiyur where PRTF is supporting the Prabha Rajan Bala
Gurukool by sponsoring special tuition
classes for the students of the school, consisting of rehabilitated street
children. This will be in addition to the regular activities of PRTF, planned
for 2018.
Prabha is no more but I live with her memory every day of my
life. I will do so until the Lord decides to unite me with her in heaven!
5th January,2015.
