D.K. Pattammal popularly called DKP "is a traditionalist but not one who has been bound by it. Not in her life nor in her music."
She completed 90 few months back, you can find my article on her here: link
My innocent scribblings on her: An Elegy to DKP
A smile that won thousands of hearts
A voice that mesmerised young and old
Behold no tears should flow
She lived her life full and whole.
Nine decades she took her stroll
Today she walked the stretch little too far
She turned, but the earth was down
Decided to rest and stroll around.
She will keep the god
tied to her songs
woo her magic
with her rythymic songs.
The brazen voice
echoed in our ears
year after year
not a shiver or a tremor
Life was hers to behold.
Long live the goddess of music!
Long live her songs!
Long live her passion for music!
Long live her goals all along!
Serves more like a song than a poem to me.
