I wrote yesterday that I was missing Appa a little more … But maybe it was some sort of premonition that today his namesake, Krishnan’s Mama was planning to pass on. Seshadri Mama and Babu Chitappa are probably the biggest connection I had to Krishnan’s immediate extended family. Mama made the dream of the computer … Read more
This man’s father was in-charge of the one black spot in the illustrious history of the Indian army – the loss to China in 1962.
