wow! one more Chandrasekharan from the "Sastrigal" family of Parur! Sri GovindaSastrigal, (ammini-mami's father?) and my grandpa (LawSubbayyar) were friends, and next generation, my father, 'Kolathu-mama' (VenkateswaraIyer) and 'Ramanatha-mama' were very close buddies: i have been to the LeslieHouse in ParvanaMukku long long ago, as a teenager. my school day memories include two Chandrasekharans (Rajendra-mama(vakil)&Kuttan(MavoorRayons?) of that Parur family. Thank you v much for picking up this thread, dear Doctor. This TamBr forum has a magic touch, i think, of linking up some old threads! -- regards, lvngly, rj. (Mani-mama was also a ChandraSekharan? i think he shifted to Coimbatore from Parur -- briefly met his daughter Chitra some five years ago)
