		Later, it was K. Vijay Kumar, the former Joint Director of Information and Publicity, who took me to Narayan's residence in Yadavagiri to request him to inaugurate the publication of Mysore Monitor (later closed), an English Weekly from our stable.
		Many times he had even invited me to his house for a chat and I did go a couple of times and enjoyed his company over a cup of coffee rich in its aroma and a delightful conversation where he would make me laugh every now and then with his inexhaustible sense of humour.
