I take this space to describe a man I feel better off having met.
Mr Ganesh Mani Pradhan is now retired however, the GaneshVilla Nursery business is capably managed by his son Mahindra.and the Orchid Retreat is managed by Mahindra,s wife, Honey.
Mr Pradhan is an educated man and based our conversations and the books in his personal Library, very well read. His knowledge of an extremely wide range of subjects from the latest in computing, photography, Botany, Ethnobotany and Birds led to an interesting range of conversations.. He has a strength, dignity and wisdom that brings a great deal of respect from the people with whom he was engaging yet he carries no air of self import. I very much appreciated the even manner in which he dealt with people and began conversations with just about everyone he came into contact with, most often very shortly they were chuckling.
Mr Pradhan was exceptionally hospitable to me,and I was honored to have had the opportunity to spend some time with him.
