Memory down the lane....24 & counting....Star 9


Manikandan

He was an original local hero of our group in training days. Apart from the very initial period, he used to go and mingle with local friends in every available opportunity. He was one guy along with others like Anbu, Kumar who arranged money to go on our first posting for all the East gang. He is famous for his local chennai language and when he spoke that kind of language, I was amused to listen to him.

Because of his local commitments he was not taking interest in exams. But what I heard of him later in other units that without his technical advice, a servicing would not progress a inch further. Such was his domination, knowledge and technical expertise. Even before he could reach Chandigarh on his posting, his fame reached before.. 

There was lot of demand and pressure for him to secure in their respective areas. He came to Chandigarh at the twilight of our career and he had a plan for extension. Most of the days he was very busy in his works and very rarely we met. However, I could meet him on 14 Jun 2009. Thereafter, meeting him remained elusive.

To be continued...

Dear Vasu,

Really you have done a fantastic job, which normally no one will take this much pain and patience and especially the memories you have recollected from day one. Though I've gone through only 50% I am really astonished to see such a great thing.

Really these types of things usually come in the form of book after working out for so many days. But you have completed the great task with in a very short time which is really appreciable by all of us.
