Dr.Krishna Iyyer passed away. He was 83 years just short of seeing 1000 full moons. He would have seen more if not for the unfortunate incident that took his life in the early hours of 26th August 2009. Yesterday we were having onam celebrations at office and for preparing the athappookkalam I had started to office by about 4.30 am. Just after 6 am amma rung me to inform the sadnews. It was a shock for me, probably for all his students. He was not just a good teacher but a unique teacher with his style of teaching that helped so many students who hated Mathematics to love it and study better..my student life is a testimonial to it. I used to meet him almost every day in the evening..along the very avenue from Kawdiar to Vellayambalam..(as the case is to every one who travels in the stretch). Be it rain or cold, morning or evening,we used to find him on gentle strolls in the streets,when he find us a pleasent smile filled with happiness appears accompanied by a firm grip on our hands .....
