I haven't seen a better teacher/coach than Ramesh Sir, not just in chess but overall. I met him at IIT Madras 5 years back and took a pic with him. He's one of those rare genuine, authentic,original and true human being.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna praises the glory of Karma Yoga and then tells Arjuna "Therefore, Be a Yogi" (tasmat yogi bhava Arjuna). Ramesh's advice "be like Pragg" sounds a lot like that!

[@AnanthNat]

Loved this comment which likens Pragg to Arjuna and Ramesh ji to Krishna!

[@bmno.4565]

No one care about Bhagavad Gita tbh. It's an outdated doctrine that promotes caste system. You don't find this sect of hinduism in South India.

Bottom line ! Tamil DNA ! It's as simple as that . Remember Tamils are an ancient race and the oldest living language in the world. And Tamil's gave India it's culture and classical traditions. Tamils are the oldest living classical race. No Tamil's No India. It's the brutal truth though bitter to most ! .
