This is Me
Then & Now |
|
| Date of Birth: | 23rd March 1950 |
| This is how they described me in the College Yearbook: | 23rd March 1950-Premu, as he was generally known, had many variations to his name. An ex-long distance runner, he soon gave up athletics to indulge in more intelligent games' like chess and bridge, and was a master of the latter. Secretary of the Co-operative store and of the Literary society, he was loud enough to make his presence felt wherever he went. Gifted with an intelligent approach, he did exceedingly well in academics, much to the consternation of his more hard working batch mates. Endowed with a caustic tongue, he made short work of any one who came across his path. His motto of life-"By hook or by crook, I must be the winner". |
