Crazy Mohan - Humor, Wisdom, Character and much more!
This afternoon the news about the legendary playwright, Crazy Mohan passing away came through. Without really knowing him in person, it was shattering. I belong to an age where TV serials [not the everlasting ones we see today] that happen once a week were something we looked forward to with lot of eagerness. Here’s Crazy comes to my mind straightaway. We are referring to pre-youtube and only-Doordarshan days - therefore, we didn't get entertainment on demand. We had to wait and the waits were worthwhile every single time. A tired day’s work for Fathers, a poor day at school for children, Mothers in need of a break between all house chores - Crazy Mohan and his troupe's serials entertained all of them. That explains the nature of his humor - clean and open for all. His brother, Maadhu Balaji who took up various prominent roles in his plays, requires a mention here. In addition to serials and plays, Crazy Mohan is a well known script writer for Tamil movies. Being
