Family Migration to Bombay

Family Migrating to Bombay

Rangan received a good news from home that his younger brother Devanathan was selected in the written test and interview and he would be joining IIT Kharagpur, in the faculty of Architecture on 1 st July 1964. Rangan’s father also was to retire by the end of August 1964. A family decision was taken to migrate to Chembur, Bombay to live with our eldest brother and family. Meanwhile the elder brother of Rangan, Parthasarathy took the initiative and took the responsibility of bearing the curriculum expenses of Rangan and Devanathan. Rangan went along with his younger sister Lakshmi and donated blood in Sion Hospital in Bombay. Back in the college in Karaikudi, Rangan talked to his group mates and decided to spend the study holidays with them, in their homes and with the consent of their parents, as travelling to and fro to Bombay was time consuming and expensive. With the assistance of class mates, Rangan made a couple of visits to Karaikudi Railway Station Junction and Station Master. During the meeting with the station master, necessary information and data were collected. Rangan delivered his second talk on the “Railways- Signals and Safety”
