Reading your tribute to Alexander, I know now whom you learned your lessons from.<br /><br />Such tributes are especially worth reading for students of journalism.<br /><br />I hope u will find the time and energy to dig into your memory and publish more such tributes on your blog. Eventually you could put them together as a book.<br /><br />Peace and love,<br />Joseph M.

True, he was a very helpful person. Treated his juniors with love and affection. I received much guidance from him during the brief six months I was in Mumbai. One of his pastimesw ws to write Letter to the Editor under the psudonym, Alex Chandra Tipu, a truly secular name...!<br />It was fun meeting him and others -- late S K Agashe and Lawerence Desouza, among others. We would go down to the Irani restaurant and have London Pilsner, which was the new beer in market and quite popular. <br /><br /> My account of my stay in UNI, Mumbai, cannot be complete without reference to Mr S. Narasimhan who would proudly tell colleagues in Calcutta office thst he was "proud" to have recruited me. Mr E C Thomas was the Chief Reporter. And who can forget Mr EMK Namboodiripad? He put me on evening duty on Diwali day, which saddened me a bit, till I realised that he had very thoughtfully given me off the next day, being the New Year for all Gujaratis.<br /><br />So many years down the memory lane, we can only recall, and pay tributes to our seniors and well-wishers.
