It has been nearly 22 years since I was a student in SMS. My memories of good old days? Memories of a place where we really “grew up”? These events are fading from my memory. But the effect is still here.
The black zipper bag given to all the students with the golden lettering of the name of School on it – I remember that. The much smaller building which did not have as much facilities as it now has–I remember that too. The wry humor of Dr Nanukuttan Nair – how can I forget that? The terror that Mr. Alex Luckose managed to generate to beat the sloppiness out of us ---I remember that very well. The business policy (there were no strategy courses then!) classes of Prof Parameswaran Nair – Gerber, Ackoff, product-market matrix of Igor Ansoff and the large sweep of things that he talked about come back to me.He was the first to talk to us about Leavit – it was hot stuff then. Prof Poduval making us play the X and Y game(collaboration versus competitive mode) in the GD classes.The look of horror on the face of Mrs. Annies Vincent when she realized that there can be people in the world who do not “talk” Maths – I still can remember; even if it is still painful. How can I forget JTP and CM George – each with a different style of teaching?
