Cdr(Retd) Giridhara P Mallya

I personally know Giridhara Mallya since last Two years through Facebook. I had the opportunity to meet him and his wife earlier this year at a small get together where he had released the Radio Play 'Dolyaan Khelu' written by my late father Kudpi Vasudeva Shenoy, acted by my Facebook friends and edited-directed by myself. Giridhara is a connoisseur when it comes to quality dining and is a globe trotter par excellence. He has many good things to share with us in the coming days.
