congrdulations sir,Iam really happy that someone recognized your contribution though very very late.You are the one of the most deserved dramatist, because all the present day highly successful tulu dramatists owe their success to you. I wonder how you could write so much, that too clean comedy, without double meaning.
All the best.

Macchendranat Pandeshwar, Ram Kirodian,K N Tailor and Anand Bolar were very popular in Dakshina Kannada in 60s and 70s for their dramas. Apart from Yakshagana, Tulu dramas were the only entertainment especially for the rural masses those days. Dramas used to have songs tunes of which used to be borrowed from popular Hindi/Kannda cinema and the village kids used to hum those tunes for weeks. Kudos to Sri Macchendranat Pandeshwar.
