Knew him from my childhood, when he was teaching in my father’s school (Skanda Varodaya College). Later when he worked in Cinemas, he used to give free tickets! Very nice and kind man. He rang me few months ago and we had a long conversation. He told me all about his children, and was very proud of all of them. It was obvious that his body was weak, but his mind was sharp with excellent memory. My condolences to the family. S Vasanthan
