Kerala   

The guide

The Coconut Development Board could not have got a better star campaigner than B.M. Hegde, cardiologist and a teacher par excellence, for promoting its products. Prominent city doctors, who were his students, flocked to hear his speech on World Coconut Day on Sunday. And delight he did with his wit that held the audience in rapt attention. There was not a dull moment in his hour-long address. Perhaps, his students could pay him a compliment by taking up cudgels against mis -conceptions about coconut oil, a stand that he had taken early in his career.
