VKV is right!! LGJ told me of a story involving him,Mali and another Senior Vidwan--a Pallavi expert(name withheld!!).LGJ was accompanying Mali when this "Senior" Vidwan walks in--Mali sights him at the door and whispers under his breath to lalgudi in Tamil"See this "Big" Pallavi" man is coming--in a very derisive language--LGJ the "prim-and-proper" artist that he was ,was totally shocked by what he considered to be an uncivil remark against a respectable vidwan. But then Mali could be totally contrite as well as he bore no malice against anybody--Mali had his own notions of respect towards "the establishment",fellow artistes, which he would demonstrate in strange ways that would make even his sworn enemy forgive him!!!
Sorry for the digression--I am still "wrestling" with my LGJ reminiscences--what to include and what to leave out!!!
LGJ and Maali

LGJ and Maali
I have moved MKR's post here since it is inappropriate on the Tribute section.
Both are giants of CM but had their personal vagaries.
