PAPPACHAYAN

 Pappachayan was always helpful. 

When textbooks were in short supply he used to procure them at Kottayam for me and entrust them  to the Driver of the KSRTC Kottayam Devikulam Fast Passenger or Express to be delivered to Papa at Munnar.

 My classmates always got the texts late. 

But my studies never suffered over lack of textbooks.

There are many many instances where we were generously assisted by Pappachayan . I am desisting from putting them all here as the exercise would be humongous.

 Pappachayan never ever sought anything in return.

He  was affable.  Family on the larger frame was his prime concern. But he never neglected his own family either. He excelled in deftly balancing the demands on him, diverse in nature.

Quite enviable, but pretty tough to emulate.
