My grandfather Dr Narasimha Moorthy's 8 mm movies, some of which could be converted to DVD with audio track added by my late father Narayana Swamy.

I have also included a pdf of a writeup about my grandfather which my father wrote a few years back. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjeLFLBNtb6IHg8qgty85vD-PL8dhBFgQ
