He earned  the goodwill of both his subordinates and higher officials in office.   Their home in Bombay was an abode for many a person from NAGERCOIL, who visited the city.  Their hospitality made the guests feel at home.  Many Tamil families lived scattered in the city and a need to have a Tamil Worship was felt by a few people.  My father was also one amongst a group of people, who got permission from the Pastor of the Marathi Church in Parel to have Tamil Worship on Sundays.  Thus the Tamil Methodist Church in Parel was born.  After retirement he joined the Performance Enterprises, my cousin’s pharmaceutical wholesale shop.  This job has kept him occupied and healthy.  Even today at this age he makes it a point to go to office in time dressed up in his usual spic and span manner.  Cricket fascinates him at this age and he is glued to the TV set whenever there is a cricket match and follows the game ball by ball.  Gardening and reading are his hobbies and one can see him watering the plants early in the morning.   I am  their only son now  in pharmaceutical business.  I  married Sornalatha,   daughter of Mr. Azariah Manuel of NAGERCOIL.  My wife has an aptitude for flower arrangement and it is her favourite hobby.   We have a son Rajeev an engineering student and a daughter Ranjana now in Std. IX.  Rajeev loves sports and music, while Ranjana enjoys dancing and music.   Written by  -  Rajan D.Yesudian
