T.S. Satyan on churumuri.com:

Once upon a time, early in the morning

The R.K. Narayan only I knew

Once upon a time during the Quit India movement

Mysore’s shortest man was only in height

The Raja said, ‘Why don’t you go with Mohini?’

The cop who stopped the maharaja

    My father used to tell that Mr. T S Sathyan and himself were colleagues in Mysore and close friends. He used to tell me that Mr T S Sathyan left for Delhi in early days and became a professional photographer. Now he is celebrating is 82 year birthday. I wish him happy birth day and thank for givig any occasion to remember my father. My father’s name is C Shankaranarayana and I hope Mr. Sathyam remembers him

    I faintly remember that Mr. T S Sathyan had visited our house and took one fotograph and had gaven the to my father. Unfortunately, neither my father is alive nor I am not able to trace that foto. As I was very young, I did not know its value. Now, I really feel ashamed for not having preserved such rate contributions of Mr. Sathyan. I wish the foto exhibition of TSS rare fotos will definitely be enjoyed by all.
