Who was the next visitor at Gemini Studios in Madras after MRA?

Or

How did the visit of the English poet remain as an unexplained mystery?

Or

Why is the Englishman’s visit to the studios referred to as an unexplained mystery?

Solution

The English poet-editor was a tall man. He was given a big welcome at the studios by the boss. A long speech was read in his honour. He spoke but what his accent defeated all efforts to understand what he was saying. All dispersed in bafflement. His visit became an unexplained mystery. Later at British Council Library, Asokamitran found that the visitor poet was Stephen Spender, the editor of the British Weekly ‘The Encounter’.
