During the sixties, I was studying in Mysore when I visited my uncle’s famous restaurant called ‘Fountain View’. At that point of time, a person visited my uncle, wished him, bought something and moved out.
My uncle told me that he was the new Principal of Maharaja Junior College. A six-footer, upright, looking trim and spoke very little. He was Anjaparavanda M. Ponnappa. I was also informed that after his graduation, he wished to join the Indian Air Force but somehow he did not qualify. Thus he joined the Department of Education as a teacher which was a blessing in disguise to the student community.
