In the second episode of Conversations with the Jambunathans, we go back in time with Jambunathan to reflect on his childhood and school days. We learn how World War II affected his family, his study habits as a young boy, and the biggest influences in his early life. We also get a peek into his days in college (when he met people like Viswanathan Mama) and as a young university lecturer who would use the school’s library to study for the IAS.
