"KNOWLEDGE unites us and that oneness comes when we find ourselves. Through dreams we reach that goal", said Oscar award-winner Resool Pookutty.
The musician who brought fame to our homeland, Pookutty was interacting with
students of Sakthan Thampuran College of Mathematics and Arts, during the silver jubilee celebrations of the college.
A man who believes in tradition, Pookutty acknowledges the fact that words which have been handed over through the ages in the form of Vedas have transformed into sounds. When all are equipped with calibre, only some reach heights. He wanted to provide a platform to those who were talented to excel, he told
the students about his new venture.
He praised Bollywood for its success and popularity. But he rued the fact that though Bollywood was the biggest film industry in the world, it had not made any great contribution. No great camera or lenses were produced in India. We owed everything to others.
According to him, teachers had to be trained in such a way that students could be taught to find 'art in oneself'. This was his message to the students.
Prof Menon handed over a memento to Pookutty. Music composer Alphonse Joseph and singer Anoop Shankar, both alumni of the school, too were present.
