MD Narayana Iyer: Chapter 2

Appa's younger brother-in-law, T.A. Sesha Iyer of Kozhikode, brought a marriage proposal for Ankichi, the bridegroom being his own son, Anantanarayanan, or Ambi as he was called at home. Sesha Iyer was a legal luminary and a well-respected figure in Kozhikode. An alliance with Sesha Iyer was considered an honour. Ambi was an up-and-coming lawyer, and heir to his father's formidable legal practice. Hmmm, good enough, Appa thought. The added attraction was that Ankichi would not have to adjust to a new household because the bridegroom was his own nephew.

Ankichi's marriage was celebrated with great pomp. There was a Harikatha performance by Ennapadam Venkataraman Iyer, and Musiri Subramania Iyer gave a music concert.
