MOTOWN INDIA EDITOR ADDS:  I have personally known Mr P. Vijayaraghavan for several years. Even though we met several years ago, when I had visited the TVS Srichakra plant in south India, he insisted on calling me on my birthday every year. It was always a short and sweet phone call, wishing me and then ending the conversation with a “God Bless”.  He would also send across a small box of chocolates to my house with his wishes. I can never forget this lovely gesture and will always remember him as a wonderful human being and a very capable man. May his soul rest in peace! RIP.
