I STOOD FOR THE ELECTION OF COLLEGE STUDENTS UNION IN MY FINAL B.A [ECONOMICS]. My closest friend V.M.C.Sivashanmuganathan , brother of Congress Minister V.M.C.Varada Pillai and T.Raman were the 3 in last bench. POEM OF RAMAN FOR MY ELECTION IS HERE .
Miss. Giselle Raymond , French B.A student was my staunch supporter. Principal N.Sivaprakasam worked for my defeat and even cut the stipend Gisselle Raymond was getting. During the Anti-Hindi agitation when all students sat on hunger strike in front of Calve College [ then Tagore Arts College } it is only French B.A girls sat for hunger strike . There was police firing when vandals ransacked Honesty Society of Ashram in Mission Street. I was walking in Pedro Canagaraya Mudaliar Street alias Canteen Street, when police from vans in Ranga Pillai Street and Nehru Street jumped to start firing. I was in between these streets in Canteen Street. Suddenly a girl rushed from her house Anna Anna Come In..and dragged me inside her house. Firing was heard.. She saved my life.
After college years I had not met her till day.
