Tribute 871.

A Tribute to the Versatile Speaker and Anchor – Bhuvana Venkat 871. Today, I wish to pen a heartfelt tribute to the multifaceted and talented speaker and anchor, Bhuvana Venkat, who has firmly established her name in the field of debates and compering. I have had the pleasure of hearing many of her brilliant speeches, particularly in debates, as well as her exceptional anchoring in events—especially those centered around songs and film music. As a member of the Mukthafilms 60 group, I have been continually astonished by her deep knowledge and authentic explanation of songs, especially in the realm of Tamil film music. Though I had seen her programs earlier, our association truly began three years ago during a debate event within the Mukthafilms 60 group, in which I had the honor of participating twice. Most recently, on May 4, she conducted an outstanding program in the group, organized by Maya Srinivasan. It was a remarkable session where she beautifully compared the lyrics of the legendary lyricist Kaviarasu Kannadasan with verses from the Ramayanam and devotional hymns of the Nayanmars. Her ability to draw such profound and meaningful parallels thrilled everyone present. It was a true testament to her command of Tamil, her literary depth, and her devotion to the art. Bhuvana Venkat is truly a rare talent—her magical voice, insightful commentary, and unmatched ability to connect themes across genres leave a lasting impression. The recent program on May 4 not only stood out as an amazing presentation but also served as strong evidence of her dedication, intellect, and passion. Wishing her continued success and many more such wonderful opportunities to showcase her incredible talent in the days to come! K.Ragavan 5-5-25 ---
