H Y Sharada Prasad secretary extraordinaire to Indira Gandhi sorry but i can 
hardly call her madam - not having visited a brothel called the Congress 
party. HYSP Has been recognised!!!

He has the unique distiction of having translated Shivrama Karanth's "Woman 
of Basrur". My interest in the book has two faces I wentto school KG, 
primary and High with a Basrur :) second the book (review for those 
interested please communicate with me directly) has so much in common with a 
present day blockbuster "Memoirs of a Geisha" I have the Geisha's book but 
not Karanths and I ran the length of Bombay ooops Mumbai and Chennai looking 
for this book published by Ravi Dayal.
