"The art form through your hard work - your technical knowledge - your mastery over medium - your pain - your creative tension - your penance - I stand in wonderment because I understood all these and more," Vairamuthu wrote.
The poet concluded by saying, "I'm feeling proud of you while my lips murmur 'here comes one among us to compete with the rest of the world'."
