How he would visit Bharathi's house to distribute sweets on the occasion of Sri Aurobindo's birthday

It is for this devotion that the Pudhuvai Tamizh Sangam recently honoured her with the "Bharathipugazh Virudhu 2006". Right from her childhood, her father R. Nagaratnam, a reporter with the Dina Thanthi, would tell her tales of how he would visit Bharathi's house in Puducherry to distribute sweets on the occasion of Sri Aurobindo's birthday. Her fascination with the poet began then. Poet Mannarmannan, president of the Pudhuvai Tamizh Sangam, said, "The sangam decided to present her the award since she has contributed immensely towards the collections of both the Bharathi and Bharathidasan museums."
