I
recall the hunched back girl accompanied by a young boy who eked out a living
by singing in the boats. Their melodious songs were from the Hindi films. The
commuters used to appreciate this. They were encouraged by the audience by
giving them lots of money. I also remember the students of the Law College at
Ernakulam under the initiative of the then Arts Club Secretary, Mamootty, now
Bharath Mammootty, the veteran cine actor, and his friend K.R. Viswambaran,
former Collector of Ernakulam and later Vice Chancellor of Kerala Agricultural
University at Mannuthi, gave them a wonderful opportunity to perform in the Law
College, to encourage these young talents, This was greatly appreciated by the
news media too.
