was somewhere around Rs. One lakh.Within four days my
               Superintendent successfully returned to Coimbatore with
               required quantity of white printing paper. Not only did I take a
               risk in issuing a cheque in advance of the transaction but my
               Superintendent too risked driving in a truck from Coimbatore
               to Bhadravathi- a distance of 400 odd miles to and fro. I
               thanked Sri.M.Jayaraman.M.A the PSD Superintendent
               profusely and made suitable entries in his confidential records.



               Towards the end of 1973 accepting my invitation to
               inaugurate Philatelic Exhibition  sponsored by the Business
               community          in       Coimbatore         Sri.Rabi        Ray,
               Member(development) P&T Board came down to
               Coimbatore. After the inauguration he planned to visit Postal
               Training Centre ,Mysore .It was with great pleasure I took
               Sri.Ray by may car to Ooty and thence to Mysore. While he
               returned direct from Mysore to Delhi via Bangalore I returned
               to Coimbatore.

               I become a father:

               My wife was happy with the new set up of office close to
               quarters.     I   had     an    unexpected       guest    when
               Sri.S.K.Parthasarathy from the  Directorate visited my
               office .I was happy to invite him for lunch and my wife
               played a perfect host .Somehow I felt  changes for the
               better were around .In the early part of 197 there were
               symptoms of my wife’s confinement. True! I was going to
               become father after 8 years of marriage! I was consulting
               Dr.Isaiya a popular gynaecologist and her nursing home
               was near my office. My office assistant Sri.Sridhar was of
               great help to me buying things like vegetables, grocery,
               etc.He used to  prefer Krishna Iyer hotel near the CTO for
               bringing dosa which my wife liked.When she developed
               pain on a Sunday I took my wife safely in may car and
               admitted my wife in the Isaiah nursing home .Within two

               hours of admission my wife delivered a baby girl. I was so
               happy when I heard the child cry and little did  I anticipate
