Ramanathan’s son Sanjay R. Srivatsa reveals the answers to these questions in his book, “Four Minutes Past Midnight: A Moment in Eternity.” “Four Minutes Past Midnight: A Moment in Eternity” is the extraordinary tale of a young patriot who stayed positive in the face of overwhelming adversity, and, against all odds, survived to tell his story. He includes copies of documents and notes in the book to corroborate the authenticity of his father’s life story. Written with care and pride, “Four Minutes Past Midnight: A Moment in Eternity” is a gripping page-turner that is heart-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time. Srivatsa’s “Four Minutes Past Midnight: A Moment in Eternity” should also be lauded for its historical context, the fighting human spirit, and the recognition of all the brave men and women – freedom fighters and ordinary citizens – who were ready to sacrifice their lives for freedom.
