Kamaraj and Nehru were travelling by car via Virudhunagar for a function in a Southern District. Kamaraj noticed a woman among the crowd and waved his hand. Nehruji noticed this and asked him who that lady was. "She is my mother", said Kamaraj. Nehru had the motorcade reversed, got down and approached the woman. Holding her hands, Nehru told her,"I am proud to meet the woman who gave birth to my 'great' Kamaraj".....

A young man came to Thirumalai Pillai road. He showed a piece of paper to Kamaraj. "Grandpa, I had applied for a seat in MBBS. They wanted me to put in a word to you", he said. Kamraj went through the application. He found his name and address there. He taunted the youth for mentioning his name. "They wanted my Madras address. This house is my Madras address", he replied.

He was Kumaravelu, son of Smt. Nagamma, the only sister of Kamaraj.

Kamaraj said,"There are Committees consisting of eminent people for selection of students. Nobody should interfere. I will not recommend. If you have done well, you will get it. Otherwise, try for B Sc (Agri) in Coimbatore. It has a bright future".......

After the formation of the so-called syndicate(Congress-O), Kamaraj came home after visiting Delhi, to find a BBC Correspondent waiting to meet him. 'My leader is Nijalingappa and so i will not speak to the media',Kamaraj told him.......

An industrialist, while taking leave of Kamaraj in the first floor of his Thirumalai Pillai residence, tried to hand over donation to the Party. Kamaraj told him to hand it over to his Secretary V S Venkitaraman in the ground floor and 'get a receipt.'..........

Those were the values the King Maker cherished. Today (15th July) is his birthday
