Fiction is more than non-fiction.
in some ways…You can stretch people’s minds,
alerting them to the possibilities of the future,
which is very important in an age
where things are changing rapidly.
You may live in San Francisco Bay Area or Seattle or Dallas.
But you get to watch Arasi, Anjali & Lakshmi on weekdays.
You also get to watch Tiruvallar Tirumathi,
Assatha Povathu Yaaru and Anbuden on weekends.
All these are possible because of SunTV.

That dream came true too.

Ceylon for more than fifty years.
Now Arthur C. Clarke talks about Space Escalators.
In another fifty years Space Escalators may come true too.
