  • Srinivasa-iyer mama used to work here at HMV. The Tam crowd referred to his wife as etchumi mami (as it sounded when I was a kid- late fifties). In later years found it out to be HMV mami. Their son Mani (now deceased) used to work here. Their relative Subramaniam (now deceased)used to work here. A Goan neighbor, D'Silva, used to work here. An Anglo-Indian lady neighbor used to work here. Passed it everyday on way to Airport School and, thereafter, only while going to Dr. Debnath's clinic. Mani later moved to Bombay. Was the sound recordist for Amitabh-Rekha's Silsila (can see his name in the credits). Had an HMV record player and records at home.
