A friend posted a touching message in Facebook, to a dearly departed friend called KD. That led me to post the following on my wall.
In my school days in Chennai, KD was used as description of criminals. Does anyone know how that came about?
I got two responses which satisfied me.
Nandu Pillai KD = Known Dacoit .
Arvind Rajgopaul short form of ‘known delinquent’.
Then my friend Rajesh suddenly popped up with this message in the same thread.
Rajesh Mehta vanakam sir how are you
Vanakkam is Tamil for Salutations.
Was he implying that I am a KD?
To prevent any misunderstandings, I posted this as a reply to him.
Rajesh Mehta I was never a KD. Vanakkam any way.
Just to set your mind at rest there are other meanings of KD : ( but tucked away is also a refernce to what I had guessed !)
Kd is the dissociation constant, a specific type of equilibrium constant.
KD may also refer to:
Kappa Delta, a National Panhellenic sorority
Kawasaki disease, an autoimmune disease
KD Avia, a defunct Russian airline that used the IATA code “KD”
KD Station, a retail and entertainment attraction once built inside the facilities of a former meat packing plant

Nandu, we must try and find some politicos with the initials. Would be most appropriate!
They are mostly criminals anyway irrespective of their initials .
Indeed.
Just occurred to me that the Sri Lanka cricket umpire is Kumara Dharamasena .
See my response to your earlier comment.
I thought you are writing about me only thing is you forgot to put initial of your name “R” – was it supposed to be KRD?
