Genuine, authentic, and able to captivate

Thomas was outstanding when he performed at the annual Tamil Language Festival in Singapore. The dramatisation of his stories on stage was an instant hit. He is genuine and authentic, and able to captivate both the young and senior members of the audience. He serves as a living example of someone who is able to learn another language with love, perseverance and dedication.

His devotion to literature, especially the Thirukkural is impressive. He should speak to people all over the world to help them appreciate the works of Thiruvalluvar, a great philosopher who stands in the ranks of the greatest. He also can serve as a resource to any organisation that loves literature and the arts. Thomas has much to share and we can learn a lot from him.
