Friend, philosopher and a techer too...

It was sometime in June 2007, that I first sat in his class, I still remember him teaching us “Nomenclature” in Organic Chemistry, initially I was not that impressed. This was my first impression, but this was never my last impression.

The famour Sanskrit Subhashita which say, “Vidya Dadaati Vinayam”, meaning Knowledge gives humility, KNN sir was a living example of the above statement.

As time went by, I got to know him more, his tests, his lectures were all so amazing, the “American Way” of teaching were all so awesome. Every single thing of KNN sir was just so awesome. I still remember that class he told about “Gay Bars”, the class was laughing their ass off. His charismatic yet humble persona. If I have to list the things that made me salute the man, I am sure I wouldn't be able to complete it in a day. He not only to taught chemisrtry, he induced great fighting spirit in us, he made us work hard with an awesome incentive based programme “ Chocolate for scoring above 90”(I still have my collection of chocolate wrappers). His famous line on how one should lead a life still echoes in my mind “ Neeralli Taavare ele hegiratto haage irbeku”, meaning one must lead life without getting bound to the world. If ever I could revisit my past, I would definitely want to attend those lectures of his. For me he was a Philosopher, Friend, Role model and a teacher too..

RIP KNN Sir, end of an era!

There can be none like you Sir
