Remembering my Mandapam days
2007
It is now more than four decades since I stepped into the corridors of
CMFR Institute at its erstwhile HQ at Mandapam Camp, as a research
scholar of the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India. When I look back at
my career spanning more than thirty years, I have a nostalgic feeling of
my tenure at this narrow strip of land in the midst of Palk Bay and Gulf
of Mannar. The area was full of thorny bushes, venomous cobras and
vipers as well as star tortoises. When I joined in 1964, Dr. Santhappan
Jones was the Director. He was affected by polio and both legs were disabled.
He moved around on a wheel chair. He was certainly a great visionary
and a Karmayogi.
