My Photo Album-203:

My Photo Album-196: Balu

Balu. Our Director's driver. An excellent driver and a friend.  He has a helping nature.  I shall always cherish his help at the time of my father's death.

May God bless him!

My Photo Album-195: Alex Jr

John Alex. Everybody calls him Alex.  I call him Jr Alex, because I have another friend with the same name.  Towards the end of my career, he joined our section as a contract worker.  He became very much attached to me.  At this young age, his father, who was working as a driver, suddenly passed away.  As the first son of the family he had to bear the family burden.  I always have a soft corner for him. Even after my leaving our office, he used to send me SMS regularly.  

This photo I took after my retirement, when I was also working on contract.

May God bless him!

My Photo Album-187: Mr Kannan

Mr Kannan was my successor as Private Secretary.  We worked together for many years and had very good understanding and cordial relationship. During my re-employment, there were some minor irritants. Before they could impair our relationship, I realized it was time to leave and wisely did so.  Till date, we are good friends as we live nearby.  He has been kind and helpful to me. May God bless him and his wife!

My Photo Album-183: Rtn Muthu.Palaniappan

My acquaintance with Rtn Muthu.Palaniappan began with the First Karaikudi Book Festival.  He has been very kind to me from that time and has been helping me in many ways.  He is the President of the Karaikudi Chamber of Commerce and a much sought after local VIP.  He is a highly public-spirited person. He has donated blood for more than 100 times and this occasion was celebrated at the Karaikudi Kamban Mandapam by his friends and well-wishers and I could also participate in it. Here is with Suri and his wife on the occasion of Suri's 60th birthday celebrations. I shall always cherish his kindness and support.  May God bless him and his family!

My Photo Album-181: NSP

NSP is related to me in more than one way.  We are almost of the same age.  He has helped me during crucial events of my life like my daughter's marriage, my father's death and while I was organizing the Karaikudi Book Festival.  We get on well and like each other. Recently I was there when he celebrated his birthday and could taste the birthday cake. 

I am grateful to him and my God bless him and his family.
