Sri. Sakthi Kumar was my science teacher. He was a very good teacher. He was famous for his “kuttu”. I once made a buzzer from scratch and showed it to him. He was impressed and that started the first “Science Club” in the school. I am not sure if it exists any more. May his athma attain eternal Shanthi.
