Remembering Babu
An uncle who was a doctor once confided in me that he was Capt. Ganjoor's doctor when he first joined MAS. Apparently Babu had poor eyesight and needed help to pass his eye test to get to 6/6 vision. He was referred to my uncle by the then AME who wanted to help Babu get the job. He said Babu was indeed a true gentleman, very friendly and generally very knowlegeable. He managed to get Babu through the eye test and signed off the medical clearance for the DCA. Maybe it is fated; had he not get the job in MAS, Babu could still be alive and MAS old timers would not have privilege of knowing a sireh chewing captain!
