My VIPs
There are some VIPs in VIT. I will include them after coming out of VIT.
AMMA, My Guru.
​
Always Be a Beginner
​
Where there is LOVE, there is no effort
Pooja Swamiji Abhayamrita Ananda Puri
​
The driving force AMRITA
​
He fed me, paid my college fees and made me what I am today during my critical periods
​
Learnt how to help people and to whom to help
​
But, I didn't repay him anything; Feeling guilty.
Dr T R Padmanabhan
He was Dean - Engineering in AMRITA, then. A very busy person. Whenever, I asked some doubt, he will go to the board and teach just for me in the middle of his hectic schedule. A true teacher.
​
He narrates beautiful stories; I rarely come out of his room without a story. I enjoyed his stories and his narration skills. I was fortunate enough to listen to his lectures. One can learn not only the subject, but also how to teach a hard subject to a layman like me.
He is the one who trained me in technical writing. Never satisfied with second best. He spent many days patiently to train me. I many times felt him as 'AMMA in professor form', so much of LOVE & care.
Since, he was the Dean, He had to speak in stage for many functions. Always, his speech will have fresh thoughts; NO boring bla bla. Overall, He is my role model.
Dr. Joshi C. Haran
​
During my undergraduate, He played a vital role in building my basics in engineering.
​
A man who is and can train perfectionists. His clarity in basics is unshakable.
​
He is one of the good men in campus. He supported me to face my tough time with ease. A huge moral support.
Dr K. I. Ramachandran
​
My Ph.D., guide.
I have learnt how to give freedom to the students from him.
​
A godly person; A pure soul I have seen.
No temptation on anything. I could not learn this till date.
Dr K. P. Soman
​
The turning point in my life was attending one workshop on machine learning by Dr Soman. That time, being a mechanical engineering lecturer, simply wondering around. Soman sir told me, "why don't you attend this?" in malayalam. Today, I am able to conduct workshop on machine learning, wavelets. All because of him. If you subtract that workshop from my life, I am nothing.
After many years, once I met Dr Soman. He didn't even ask 'how are you?'. He started talking about some kernal function as if yesterday we left the topic in the middle. That is Dr Soman. The funnest part is, many times, I don't understand what he speaks, high level mathematics!!! Imagine where I would have reached, if I could understand all that he speaks.

Dr B. K. Vinayagam
​
He was my HOD for two years. The most beautiful days in my career. He was so cool. If I want to deal something cool, I imagine, how BKV sir will handle the situation. Thank you BKV sir for being such a wonderful Boss.
