Introduction :   A  Great Intellectual and former Chief Town Planner plus Member of Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority  [ CMDA] Shri. A. Ananda Ranjana Doss, B.E, M.T.P, was really an outstanding and visionary Town Planner in India and his mesmerizing smile had disappeared from this world once for all , he is no more with us;  but some of his  indelible memories can be read from  some of the monumental   buildings and Satellite Towns  built in Chennai Metropolitan area during his official tenure and under his official guidance and those landmark buildings speak volumes of laurels  about his Town Planning creativity and vision..  I sincerely believe  his excellent trajectory of life  and unassuming  personal qualities and traits will give  new insight and inspiration to the readers  of this Article, to accomplish  great things in life like him in their respective fields. 
The great Dramatist and Writer William Shakespeare said  , "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them'.  But Shri Anand Ranjana Doss belonged to the second category he achieved greatness in life and profession.. By virtue of his hard work, honesty, and natural  creative intelligence  he  had become a milestone in the history of Town Planning in Tamil Nadu and India.  I am delighted to say that during 1967-1969 I had the privilege to enjoy his friendship  while both of us were staying at the YMCA Building in Trichy . He was a great Carem Board player and I used to  sit by his side  and enjoy his Carem Board  Coin striking dexterity  with great admiration.  I am delighted to say here that he was one of the remarkable Sons-in-law of Kanyakumari District.
