The silver wand in Kalanidhi’s life was provided by her parents. Her mother Sumitra was partial to art and artists, and encouraged daughter Kalanidhi (born 7.12.1928) into dance. Sumitra’s son Venkatramani (born 24.1.1932) picked up music stimulated by the prevalent atmosphere at home. Their father S.V. Ganapathy, an engineer by profession, was a philosopher, and a learned man in the best sense of the term. His knowledge did not give false piety and sham superiority but a true understanding of Man and his Culture, Tradition.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Kalanidhi Narayanan
Kalanidhi's past, as a child and teenage dancer, as a full-fledged teacher much later, has given her unique talent of abhinaya, a depth, a flavor, an edge that communicate to students and audiences the world over, some- thing warm and palpable, of now and tomorrow; not something to be moth-balled and put away.
