Page 141 - Govind 70th Birthday Book
P. 141

Govind is one up having gone to Trinity although his schooling could have been so much better by going to Mayo instead of Doon! It was over a decade ago that we traveled together on the Oxford and Cambridge Trip to Japan. Whilst we were unable to meet the Crown Prince, now Emperor Naruhito, Govind, in a very matter of fact way said we could still meet (the senior Royal) Princess Isato Takamato. This incident only reflects two aspects of Govind’s personality - knowing the high and mighty around the world
and a very understated superiority. Two words describe Govind - class and style. His obvious charm, his suave demeanour, his gentle humour ( and indeed his appreciation of good humour!), his dependability as a friend and a most agreeable lunch ( and travel ) companion and you have in Govind a great character who in fact looks
younger than his 70 - and I don’t mean 69!
