Friends, There have been several mails in the forum about Hillol. Let me share my experience. I regularly read his mails as many of them are of interest to me. He had sent a recent mail on glucose monitoring for which I had asked for details. He sent me the details. He also tried to download my student's thesis on the subject, which he could not. He asked me for the thesis, which I had sent. I was stunned by his reply which I got in about two hours. He had summarized beautifully the thesis. Underlined the positive and negative points and identified the key development required. Those five lines could not have been written by an untrained mind !!
Absolutely Brilliant!! Regards RKK Krishna Kumar Ramarathnam rkkumar1956@gmail.com
RKK, I fully agree with you. It's really amazing to see Hillol so much up to date on advanced topics of research! At times I wonder if he really gets to sleep at all! He's the first person and often the only one to reply my mails too with the right remarks! Undoubtedly a brilliant man from our batch! -Regards - Praks Srini Praks srikpraks@gmail.com Am so happy there is both acknowledgment and gratitude in the context of Hillol. "How do you solve problem like Maria?" asked the wise women in "The Sound of Music". Maria went on to solve a seriously bigger problem and brought joy.
About the inference pertinent to the trained mind: in our second year first semester engineering drawing examination, only six of two hundred and eighty students passed. Hillol was one of the six. I know the other five.
