time. His long tenure is a measure of his indispensability and
popularity among government departments both central and state
and popularity among senior bureaucracy and even judiciary! He
arranged for my transport to Kalpakkam for a few days till I was
allotted quarters in Kalpakkam.He maintained such a liaison with
passport office,airlines, and other such related agencies that he
would make foreign travel a tension free exercise. Many dignitaries
would happily maintain contacts with Mr.Vijay.Once he took me
to Ms.M.S.Subbulakshmi’s residence opposite Valluvarkottam and

introduced me to the legend of Indian music and what is more got
both of us a nice cup of coffee from the great model of hospitality!

My work brought me in touch with Mr.Vijay regularly on my way
to and from Bombay where I would be proceeding in connection
with H.Q work. Even after my transfer to Hyderabad ,my parent
department , our contact was intact. For, Mr.Vijay once he gets to
know somebody in the usual social contacts he would never forget
the contact.

An opportunity presented itself for me to be recipient of a
significant contribution of goodwill from Mr.Vijay.When my son
became eligible for admission to Central School in Hyderabad I
noticed that Central School rules for admission. Among the
applicants he criteria for selection of their wards would depend on
the number of transfers of the applicants. While scrutinizing my
service book I noticed that my final transfer to the office of
Director General Services Organization was not entered in the
service book. So the Accounts officer who maintained the record
sent the service book to Mr. Vijay the Administrative officer in
charge of Shastri Bhavan Office for making necessary entries in
the book. This was promptly done by my friend and my
application with the maximum number of transfers In the last five
st
years became eligible for my son’s admission to the 1 standard in
Golconda Central School.
