He crossed me.Immediatley i recognised him. He is a great scholar. He is the author of some schooll tamil books. even once i went his home. His house was full of books. Everywere books. Everywere papers. books. papers. papers. papers. His wife, worriedly complained that time:" the house owner asking them to vacate the house. He is spoling the house by dumping the books and papers. Even snakes r coming inside to shelter. All wooden doors r spoiled by the insects from the papers". but she continued: " but he is not responding. Even the son not taking care!' She said that the search for a home end in vain. All these hapened neary 20 years ago.

few years back i met his wife near Tambaram. She said still searching for the house. they got many many books again. her husband got retired. and workig in rakakrishna mission.....No reply from his son. etc..
