It was 1958 when I left my village in pursuit of higher education. I had literally no idea about higher education but followed my eldest brother's instruction blindly. He on his own decided to educate me on Engineering line. But instead of looking at long distant goal he was in a hurry to get quick return and hence decided to send me to diploma course only. I do not know where all he had applied but one day he came home and told me that I have to go for an interview at Annamalai Polytechnic, Chettinad, then Ramanathapuram district. In june 1958 I accompanied him to Ramnad along with my documents. The destiny started drawing new lines on the life book of Ganesan. The wings started growing
