I had an occassion to meet him in his office at Times of India in late 80's
in connection with a book he brought out for the bank.The book was
titled "Little Things Count" which clearly illustrates what the customer
of the bank expects and how to treat a customer etc. It was a very
pleasant meeting and I still cherish the meeting.
