Mally's habits
Mally had a habit of using newspaper-cuttings as bookmarks.In one of
his books I found the following: "200 hundred year old maths query solved" This refers to solution of "Warring problem"-resolution of any positive integer into 19 fourth powers-a problem solved by Prof. R.Balasubramaniam and French collaborators.The cutting is dated 17th Feb 1986. Incidentally exactly four months have pased since Mally's passing. A.K.Devaraj |

less talk. More action.
 I have to admit missing Mally. Things were NOT dull when he was around. |

This was indeed what I was trying (succeeded?) to describe. Not to be confused with their siblings "Chris" or "Gonna"
