A graduate in Economics and Political Science, he also holds a Diploma in Journalism and Public Relations. Vaidyanathan joined the G.I.P. railway (now Central Railway) in August 1947 and held various posts. He retired as an Officer of Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS) in August, 1984. Even as a student he had flair of writing and has been contributing regularly to various newspapers and journals. He was twice the recipient of the Railway Minister’s Essay Prize awarded during the Railway Week. He has made a special study of the famous temple of Lord Krishna of Guruvayur and other temple and has authored three books, namely, “Sri Krishna, The Lord of Guruvayur”, “Pilgrimage to Sabarimala” and “Temples & Legends of Kerala” published by Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan. These Books are among the best sellers of Bhavan’s publications. Yet another book by the author is “A Trainload of jokes and Anecdotes” (UBSPD) which has received rave reviews. After retirement from railway service, he has served as Editor of the trade journal, “Minerals & Metals Review” for nearly 15 years. During the period he also made a special study of the growing old age problems and the result is this book “Growing old gracefully”. Happily married with three sons, all well-settled in life, he presently lives in Mumbai, devoting his time to writing and social work.
