🌟 Celebrating an Icon: Shri G.V. Subramanian Sir 🌟

December 15th, 2024, was an unforgettable one at Sarat Smriti Sadan, Kolkata! 🎉✨ We came together to honor the incredible legacy of Shri G.V. Subramanian Sir, Director of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Kolkata and Eastern India. The moment he was awarded the "Sadhanai Tamizhar Virudhu" 2024, recognizing his outstanding contributions to Bharathi Tamil Sangam Kolkata, was pure magic. ✨💫

For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of knowing and working alongside this legend. 🙌💖 His leadership across institutions like Ved Bhavan Kolkata, Sastha Samooham Kolkata, Rasika Ranjana Sabha’s Sree Thyagaraja Hall Kolkata and the Calcutta South Indian Club has been nothing short of inspirational. 🏛️🌟

Sir isn’t just a leader; he’s a cultural icon, a unifier, and a shining star for the Tamil diaspora in Kolkata and Eastern India. 🌏🌺 The dedication he shows toward preserving Tamil traditions and fostering community is something we can all aspire to. 🙏💐

The evening was filled with gratitude, reverence, and love. 🌸💖 Watching the community celebrate his remarkable journey reminded me how fortunate I am to have had his mentorship and support for two decades. 🌟✨ He’s been a cornerstone of not just my association with Bharathi Tamil Sangam but also my personal growth. 🙏🔥

Sir, you are truly a Sadhanai Tamizhar—a trailblazer who continues to inspire generations. 🌈🔥 Your work reminds us all that real greatness lies in selfless service and leaving behind a legacy that touches hearts and minds. 💖🙏

Feeling incredibly grateful and indebted to have been part of this moment. 🙌💛 Thank you, Sir, for everything you do for us! 🌹✨

💬 "Legacy isn’t what you leave behind; it’s what you build in the hearts of others."

With immense respect and love,

"A Bronx Tale" is a compelling crime and coming-of-age drama directed by and starring Robert De Niro, released in 1993. The film is a powerful narrative set in the 1960s Bronx, New York, revolving around the life of a young Italian-American boy, Calogero Anello, who is torn between his admiration for a local mob boss, Sonny, and his hard-working, honest father, Lorenzo. The story kicks off when Calogero witnesses Sonny, the charismatic yet feared gangster, commit a murder. When the police arrive, Calogero chooses not to identify Sonny as the shooter, beginning a complex relationship between the boy and the mobster. Sonny takes Calogero under his wing, nicknaming him "C," and introduces him to the ways of organized crime. This mentorship provides Calogero with a seductive glimpse into a world of easy money and respect, contrasting sharply with his father's values of hard work and honesty. Lorenzo, portrayed by De Niro, is a bus driver who goes to grea...

Swadesamitran, a pioneering Tamil newspaper, was founded in 1882 by the visionary and social reformer G. Subramania Iyer, a man who dedicated his life to the ideals of nationalism, social justice, and progressivism. Born in Thanjavur in 1855, G. Subramania Iyer was not only a journalist but also an ardent supporter of India's freedom struggle and a firm believer in social reforms. He was the founder-editor of The Hindu newspaper as well, before parting ways with it to focus entirely on Swadesamitran. Through his journalistic endeavors, Iyer wielded the pen as a weapon against injustice and colonial oppression, setting an exemplary standard of fearless, ethical journalism. G. Subramania Iyer’s deep involvement in the Indian independence movement was evident through his editorials in Swadesamitran, which often critiqued British colonial rule and highlighted the importance of Swaraj (self-rule). His writings inspired a sense of political...
