MY NEXT TALK-G. Sundari on a childhood spent in the green environs of the Theosophical Society, meeting Rabindranath Tagore and other nationalist leaders, and being enchanted by Rukmini Devi's dance
My father came to Madras at the request of Annie Besant to work in the Theosophical Publishing House, and the rest of us followed when the Besant Theosophical School opened in 1934. I joined the school in Class I, and studied there till I completed my SSLC.
One of my earliest memories is of seeing Rabindranath Tagore during his visit to Madras in 1934. He was very impressive, with his ochre robes and his long beard. He had come with his students as part of his South India tour to raise funds for Shantiniketan. The president of the Society, George Arundale told him, ‘Gurudev, we don't want you to have to go around collecting funds at your age,' and assured him that they'd collect the money for him. So Tagore stayed on at the Society for about 10 days, and was well taken care of at the Blavatsky Bungalow near the big banyan tree.
All of us children would run in and out of the bungalow — there were no restrictions on our movements. Tagore would be reclining in an easy chair in the hall and when a child went up to him, his arm would go gently around him or her. But what fascinated us most was the sight of his students combing out his long beard! The Theosophical Society was in general a very child-friendly place. Dr. Arundale wouldn't pass by a child without a smile and a wave.
At the school, the emphasis was on instilling simplicity. Papanasam Sivan was our music teacher, and we learnt lots of nationalist songs from him. I remember, he composed a song for Annie Besant, and called it ‘Devi Vasanthe' (the pandits of Benaras had given her the Indian name ‘Vasantha' during the years she lived there. A lot of people born in the 1920s and 1930s were named ‘Vasantha' after her). When he first taught us the song, he gave us its meaning and said, ‘The director didn't ask me
sirf ms dhoni hi jit sakta is ke sath pore india cricketer ko bhi lena chia tha. qu ki pore india team ne achah perfomense kya
Unless China started playing cricket, Indians cricketers will always win these kind of competitions. hah

I didn't vote for MS Dhoni just because I am an Indian.
I believe, He deserves this award, Because, If you look into the ICC Team Ranking Table, The spots that the current Indian Cricket Team holds in that particular table are 1,2 & 2 in ODI, Test & T20 respectively.
Now, This is outstanding to achieve with a purely young team.
Mr. Dhoni's temperament in the field & his potential in leadership is enormous.
His cricketing spirits & personal achievements with the bat is incredible as well.
So, I believe, He fairly deserves it.
