S.R.Madhu was the Emcee at the function. The book was Rajan`s 12th in 15 years, covering the 8th genre of writing.
The author says, “The book is divided into five parts: Ram`s early years, Ram as a quintessential family man, Ram – a cherished friend, Ram with Music Academy and other institutions, and Ram in Rotary as a supreme mentor. He touched the life of anyone he came in contact with. His advice was sought by many eminent people in business. He was a supreme mentor for many Past District Governors in the Rotary District. He was as popular with every one of his family members as he was with others. He was a rare human being and a complete gentleman to the core.”
