Abstract: Experiments on neutrino oscillations have uncovered several small parameters,

h e t a_{13}

being a prominent one. Others are the solar mass splitting {em vis-`{a}-vis} the atmospheric one and the deviation of

h e t a_{23}

from maximal mixing. In this talk we elaborate on a neutrino mass model based on the see-saw mechanism in which the mixing angles to start with are either vanishing (

h e t a_{13}

and

h e t a_{12}

) or

p i / 4

(

h e t a_{23}

). The atmospheric mass splitting is taken as a part of this initial structure but the solar splitting is absent. A perturbative contribution, originating from a Type-I see-saw, results in non-zero values of

h e t a_{13}

,

h e t a_{12}

,

D e l t a m_{s o l a r}^{2}

, and shifts

h e t a_{23}

slightly from

p i / 4

, interrelating them all. The model incorporates CP-violation, the phase

d e l t a

being close to 3

p i

/2 for (a) quasi-degeneracy or (b) inverted mass ordering. It will be put to test as the neutrino parameters get better determined.
