K.T.Ramani

Ramani (his friends know him as KTA or KT Ramani) has passed away suddenly and it has left a void particularly for us who are in Coimbatore. I have not seen him get angry and in 1959 I took his family car (a Austin A-40) from Madras to Tirupathi; due to a mistake of mine the car broke down half way up the hill; I stayed at Tirupathi for three days to get the car repaired and came to Madras and Ramani did not say a word to make me feel embarassed or hurt.
