അച്ഛന്റെ ചിതയിലേക്ക്‌ തീ പകരുന്നതിനുമുൻപേ ധ്യാൻ ശ്രീനിവാസൻ പറഞ്ഞു: ‘‘ഒരു വെള്ളക്കടലാസും പേനയും വേണം. അതും ചിതയിൽ വെക്കണം

 

 അച്ഛന്റെ ചിതയിലേക്ക്‌ തീ പകരുന്നതിനുമുൻപേ ധ്യാൻ ശ്രീനിവാസൻ പറഞ്ഞു: ‘‘ഒരു വെള്ളക്കടലാസും പേനയും വേണം. അതും ചിതയിൽ വെക്കണം.’’

 

Before his cremation, Dhyan Srinivasan requested a piece of white paper and a pen to be placed in the pyre. As he prepared to leave, he expressed the desire for something meaningful to accompany him, highlighting the significance of words. When the paper and pen arrived, he asked his close friend, Sathyan Anthikad, to write something. With a heavy heart, Sathyan wrote: "May only goodness come to everyone," reflecting the essence of Srinivasan's character.

In the next moment, those words were consumed by the flames along with Dhyan, leaving behind cherished memories. Sathyan shared his emotional turmoil, recalling a lesson from Srinivasan about writing dialogues not for oneself but for the characters, emphasizing that Srinivasan was the character in this moment.
