  1. Splendid write up Mr. Manoharan, although being a sarasari doctor I don't deserve such compliments, but coming from a scholarly Christian author like you
    , will gladly accept. It is all my parents blessings. Appa passed on at age 59 but the Lord granted 30 more years after losing appa, for who lived with us comfortably writing her books and readin the Bible. Thank you again for the painstakingly written two biographies of my family. Paul Chellappa.
