Born: 5th January 1941

23-25 Oct 1965 - the Duleep Trophy match between South Zone and North Zone was held in Bangalore. My mother, Rukmani (Nair) Manay, went along with her friends to West End Hotel where the cricketers were staying. There they managed to meet quite a few of them, and my mom got their autographs on a West End Hotel memo paper. Note the four-digit telephone number!
