Though I write this in memory of my father Ramalingam Ganeson, I dedicate this to all fathers who place service before self and who make unconditional sacrifices for their families. A childless couple known to the family and based in Malaya had expressed an interest in adopting my father. His sporting ability helped him to procure a much-coveted ticket into the prestigious Victoria Institution, so he moved to Kuala Lumpur with his maternal uncle. Enrolling in the Technical College in Kuala Lumpur was his next milestone. Journeying on a bicycle from Kuala Lumpur, he remained there for the rest of his working life.
