    Passionate in the topic he teaches, takes active interest in the progress of each and every student he teaches when they are in his department or even after they have graduated. One of the very few responsible for the graduation from Manasagangothri -> Mangalagangothri. Has touched the heart and life of every student he taught and his famous prophecy viz., "Completion of SSLC is enough to understand my lectures (for masters students); such was his teaching ability that requires full understanding of the subject. Clarity in communication and measured talk are all his attributes that will be missed. Responsible for the formation of Materials Science Department in Mangalore University much earlier than anywhere in Karnataka. He will be missed by everyone who came across him and he is irreplaceable. It is indeed a sad.
