                                                  Some time after Sankari's  marriage in 1967, Krishnan left for job, He went to Calkutta worked for a few months in a small company before joining the I O C where he worked upto and until his retirement. Simultaneously he got his B.Com Degree.just like E B (elder brother).The other brother Sathi joined Annamalai University to pursue his Engineering studies.My marriage was fixed to take place on 4th Septenber 1968.Just one week before that, there was a news paper report!   E B  was returning from Shenkottai to Kalakad in a State transport bus late in the evening .The bus involved itself in an accident by hitting a tree very near to Kalakad bus stand in a turning Out of the total number of passengers, only 4 persons did not have much damage ,viz E B, a small child, the driver and  the conductor! Fortunately there was no death,but other people were all admitted in the hospital for treatment. But the news reporter had his own story and way of expression .It started like this. KTV is well known to all in the village.His son met with an accident.......Of  course , E B had some minor bruises near the eye and the arm.(not of serious nature ) I was handed over the paper by one of my  colleagues from whom I  came to know about the incident , where upon I took leave and rushed to Kalakad.But E B did not inform either Mother or Father and took rest for the night.

Krishnan came separately later for the marriage and after coming to Kalakad he got fever  for one or two days Dr,Sankaran residing in the opposite house gave medicines to cure him.Sathi, while cycling in Chidambaram Annamalai University campus during night ,due to darkness sped the cycle on a sleeping dog wvhich barked in the loudest tone., ,Frightened Sathi had a fall from the cycle, as narrated by him. Dhrishtiparikarams were all over . The previous Wednesday ,Cheenu's ( brother of ASk ) marriage was celebrated in a grand manner at Ravanasamudram. Our marriage was celebrated next week at Nagerkoil.with a huge crowd of attendees, managed by EB and KTV ! 

                   Sankari who came to attend our marriage, subsequently was delivered of Bhanu on 16th of March 1969and on 29 th of  October( exactly 51 years back ) Srimathi was born as our child.In the mean time , I had gone fo my higher studies to pursue M.Phil in Mathematics  in Madurai University,.We settled in Kailasapuram ,Thirunelveli in July 1970 with the new born.
