Smt. Vani Jairam's first and introduction programme

I had the privilege of being founder secretary of APSARAS, who introduced Smt. Vani Jayaram to Madras for the first time, which was stepping stone for her popularity in All India Level. Here are some photos of the sweet memories. This programme was conducted for two days at Music Academy, and it happened to be house full on both the days. We invited Sri. M.S. Viswanathan, as chief guest and that is the reason for "Malligai En Mannan Mayangum" and rest is History.

Sri V. Gopalakrishnan, Actor, was the Master of ceremony on that day, as he had this crown for many of our programmes

I am ( second from the left) with our President Sri M.A.M. Ramaswamy with Vani's poster on the background. ( Madam Jayalaitha, who became Chief Minister of Tamilnadu later was our Vice President).I am giving vote of thanks in the 3rd photo and in 4th,Vani honouring the Artist Bharani for his wonderful work in the poster, which was appreciated by "Kumudam" as the best poster of the week ( which we continued to have many weeks ) and appreciated by Rajesh Khanna and he went and told her " Vaniji. Aap ka face poora madras city mein chamakraa hai" even before her landing at Madras

Incredible India !!!

The regular zinc production by distillation started in India around 12th century AD and in China it is not earlier then 16th century AD. As early as the 12th century AD, India produced the metallic zinc by the sophisticated distillation process at Zawar in Rajasthan. This technology of zinc manufacture is also described in several Indian alchemical works of the mediaeval period including the 13th century Rasa Ratna Samuccaya. The word used in this document to describe the distillation process involved is tirakpatnayantra, which translated literally, means "distillation by descending". Various zinc-smelting processes were also described in the Sanskrit works of medicinal chemistry and alchemy, viz., Rasarnavam Rastantram (500-100 BC), Rasratnakar (2nd century AD) and Rasprakash Sudhakar (12th century AD). In China zinc was first reported in the 16th century by the excavation in Gui-Zhan region of Yun-han, but the new research by the Chinese scholars gives a clear indication that zinc smelting began in China in the Jiajung period (1552-1566 AD) of the Ming dynasty. In 17th century China exported zinc to Europe under the name of totamu or tutenag. Tutenag possibly has its origin in the word Tutthanagaa maening zinc in South Indian languages
