A Tribute to a legend-Mangai Sir

This is the time in my life, when my school time memories are beginning to fade and a new corporate life is beckoning, I felt like I owe something to my teachers , who, made me into what I am or had an influence in shaping my life to a great extent. So, this post is for a teacher who is still at his best shaping better people than me and is doing this world the greatest service anyone could do…This is a tribute to the world’s greatest profession…
Mr.Mangaimanalan:
The word that makes every student in tirunelveli to admire and to derive inspiration from it. We can call him Mr.Teaching, if not Teaching can be called Mangaimanalaning. So great are his teaching methods that you can ask any student of him, I bet anyone giving him a mark less than 9.9999 out of 10 for his teaching. He is the face of chemistry for almost all Engineers and Doctors coming out of Tirunelveli. I have heard even the great Rajinikanth has invited him to work in his institute, but he had refused. After all, we don’t love him just for his teaching, but for the person he is, the clear Idol that anyone in the world can follow. The Indian railways can check the IST with him and the clock within his brain can defeat the most accurate clock in the planet.
Some of his traits that this post is fortunate enough to record...

Even the Orkut that revolutionized Indian Social Networking has a fan club for him.

He never accepts fees from students whom he knew had a slightly poor financial background

His encouragement for students is priceless and the inspirations he gives to the student who does well in his classes are sure to make his life a brilliant one.

He values his job more than anything else; I have heard him say he won’t sleep properly if he is not completing portions as per schedule. I have seen him coming to take classes in his worst health conditions just for the sake of not disappointing his students.

He holds so much of moral responsibilities to himself and he never touches the fees we provide him (get it directly) nor does he ask for it..!

He does this profession for the sake of building individuals and not for anything else as he has a lot more career options other than teaching that can give him many times of the money he is earning now…

And there are so many things that we continue to admire and wonder at the greatness of a man like him the world has never seen before and his journey continues in brightening up or shaping up the lives of so many people. Just words are not enough to describe his professionalism, dedication, kindness, talent, teaching methods etc…

I have been (at least trying to) blogging for almost a year now and no other post have given me more satisfaction than this recording of a legend…

P.S: As I hear now, his health is not that good as it is used to be, May the Lord give him the strength to continue his glorious works (in fact his works are as glorious as His works) forever...
