In 2014, I went to Pondicheri to present a paper in Kanchi Mamunivar PG Center. The Chief Guests of the Seminar are Padma Bhushan Manoj Dass, Dr KV Raghupati & Dr P Raja. That was the college where Dr. P Raja Sir was actually working. Dr Raja completed his Ph D on Dr Monoj Dass. Dr KV Raghupathi Sir gave some of his books to Padma Bhushan Manoj Doss Sir after the seminar. Dr Manoj Das studied and was impressed by the writings of Dr KV Raghupathi. He invited Dr KV Raghupathi Sir through his disciple, Dr P Raja.
Dr KV Raghupathi, Dr P Raja & I visited his home to meet Dr Manoj Doss for the Morning Talk. His house is just behind the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. That was an excellent opportunity to meet such a literary giant so closely. He seems simple but has a Royal Personality and a signature genuine smile. He discussed his writing career and experiences with KVR Sir. He specially prepared and offered us Kashmiri Chai with Tulsi along with Breakfast. Those memories are afresh in my consciousness.
(I am Privileged to take his Photograph when Dr KV Raghupathi Sir offered his books to Padma Bhushan Manoj Doss Sir.)
