ANANTANARAYANAN MY SENIOR AT SATHYA SAI COLLEGE

Anantanarayanan used to be my senior both at Lowry Memorial High School and at Sathya Sai College in Whitefeild. He joined Sathya Sai College along with Stanley another senior of mine at Lowry School.Sathya Sai College had a penchant for students from Lowry Memorial School  due to similarity in operational culture and had affiliation to the American ethos and way of life.Sathya Sai College at Whitefield had few American professors on its rolls like  Dr. ALLWYN DRUCKER.

Anantha as we used to call him was a moderate success at Lowry Memorial School but was a big success in the Commerce stream which he took up later being a rank holder all-through his five year stint at Sathya Sai College.In the BCom exams af Bangalore University to my memory three students would always figure in the rank list, Anantha Narayanan, Kiran Vaid and Deepak Melwani.

He used to be our inspiration though we studied the science stream. His sister also was a student at Lowry Memorial School.In Lowry Memorial School Anantha had a class mate B R Suresh and another person whose name I dont recollect.B R Suresh I cannot forget because they used to call him B R Dumma because he was a very fat person. AnanthaNarayanan would play table tennis also well.

On being inspired by people like Ananthanarayanan even I got 52 rank at the Pre-University Board in Karnataka state in 1982.I should have got a better rank because I got only 83 in Chemistry which I think even today should have been atleast 90. Had I got 90 I would have got seat at KREC Suratkal in the first list itself which I didnt.

MY GREAT GRAND FATHER KOTTAYAM KADANKOT CHINDAN NAMBIAR

 

This is a rare and priceless photograph of KOTTAYAM KADANGOT CHINDAN NAMBIAR, the father of my Grand Mother. A unique person in many ways and of compassionate and constructive disposition and a true Genius of sorts. I was for a very long time trying to get a glimpse of his persona which has happened now and some facial similarity with me cannot be totally over-ruled and a stern countenance even which I carry.

His ancestors are from the Kottayam village in Telicherry about which I had written earlier. He is the second generation of people who made the village of Cherukunnu their home. His immediate ancestors fled the township of Kottayam in 1800 ad or so from the hegemony of the East India Company who took control of Telicherry and its surroundings. When Kottayam Kadangot Chindan Nambiar was nine years old his uncle built a traditional Naalu Kettu house in Cherukunnu extending their dynasty in Cherukunnu in Kannur or Cannannore which exists even today.

K K Venugopal who was the Attorney General of Govt. Of India is a grand-nephew of Kottayam Kadangot Chindan Nambiar. The people of this clan are well mannered and development oriented building artistic houses with professional finesse. Dr. K C Nambiar FRCS who was the Dean of Stanley Medical College Madras is a nephew of this person.
