Behind every successful man is his teacher. I was a bum, I can say when I entered
the eighth semester. I always had idealised dreams of working alone in a Lab, on a
prestigious project. My attitude today is solely due to my teacher. I was a pessimist
& always used to shy away from learning difficult things, but he always egged me on. Yes,
I was frustrated at times, but it has held me in good stead today. I remember that the
project went on & on, each time I did something significant, he was constantly behind me,
telling me to do better & better. So, from a simple software, my project became a 3-D, trend
display of process variables in real-time. I agree, it can be made better, but from the time
& resources available then & from my capability as a programmer then, it was an achievement
for me. I especially remember the days I spent in the evenings in the lab, especially till
9:00 PM, somedays. he used to tell me, that he has never given the keys to the lab to any
graduate student, but he gave the keys to me & I took the full responsibilities. My only
regret is that I found him, in the final semester...
