A Mysorean who didn’t know his worth

T S SATYAN alerts us to an unsung Mysorean, a man from Krishnamurthypuram who T S Eliot—yes, T S Eliot—said, “didn’t know his own worth, like a flower that is not aware of its own fragrance.”

    Thank you Mr. Sathyan for introducing Mr. Ramakrishna’s Achievements. Sometime back Mr. GVK had also written about Mr. Ramakrishna. He is some twenty mind -boggling great things rolled into one! Just amazing, indeed!

    This is what TS Eliot had to say about RVR in the 1950′s

    ‘When he won the Shakespearean contest I wrote to him as follows – ‘ England is the land of Shakespeare’s birth. Even today we can boast of great critics of this dramatist. Some of these critics have participated in the competition and by scoring over them you have scored over some of the cream of English literary men.’
