How did the author discover who the English visitor to the studios was?

Solution

It was the time when the author Asokamitran was out of the Gemini Studios. He read an announcement in ‘The Hindu’ about ‘a short story contest organised by a British periodical, “The Encounter.’ The periodical was unknown among the Gemini literati. So the author went to the British Council Library where he found copies of “The Encounter.” When he read the editor’s name he heard a bell ringing in his ears. It was the poet Stephen Spender who had visited the Gemini Studios. He felt as if he had found his long lost brother like those of Indian films.
