Welcome to
Dr. Malaiperumans Website

The Indian Students Hostel, 41 Fitzroy Square



The students there all loved him
In his devotion to their cause,
And the highlight came at Christmas
When he was their Santa Clause.

In the end he became quite famous,
As the General Secretary of the Indian YMCA,
He hob-nobbed with prime-ministers and princes,
and the Queen and of course Chou-en-Lai.

Now there are lots of Malaiperumans around,
And they are all in this room as you see,
And another is due any minute.*
So hurry up, Doc, and finish your tea.

We are all delighted to congratulate you
On an occasion as splendid as this,
for 80 years is no mean age
We salute you and give you a kiss.**

We hope you will continue to be healthy
and that no more of your bones will be broken.
We wish you good luck in the future
and present you with this holiday token***

* Alice was born 4 weeks later ** Jey and Henry salute and Elizabeth gives a garland *** presented with a holiday token. H5>Poem written by John Malaiperuman
