A corrigendum to the previous post
Frankly, as many people who know me will testify, I am what the feminists would call, a “Male Chauvinist Pig”. Hence when I talk about the family of my paternal grandmother, I will be unhappy if I do not talk about my paternal Grandfather. It grieves me immensely to state that I only know that my paternal Grandfather was called Ramaswamy Iyer, after whom I am named, and that he belonged to Thrippalur, near Alathur in Palakkad district of Kerala. He died, I do not know how, when my grandmother was pregnant with her first child, my father, Narayana Iyer or Mani. If, through this blog, I am able to locate the family of my paternal grandfather, then nothing would be more pleasureable than that. It is terribly frustrating to lose the link of ones patrilieal lineage just two generations before. Not knowing about ones paternal grandfather can be terribly frustrating. So if anyone can shed any light on this matter, I beg them to do so.
