T.K.M.College of Engineering, Kollam
I joined TKM College of Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engg as lecturer in July 20 1965. The atmosphere of the college was very good with good and hardworking staff and nice cooperation. Principal was Hameed Sir a very efficient and eminent personality keeping high discipline in the college. I was sent for sequential summer school by the college during 1967,1968 and 1969 in IIT, Madras. As I obtained first rank in my group of Turbo Machines I was admitted directly to the second year M.Tech and I completed M.Tech from IIT, Madras in 1970 and promoted as Asst. Professor. I tried to work very sincerely and took classes with good preparations and confidence. I secured admission for PhD in IIT, Bombay under the Quality Improvement Scheme of the Government of India in 1974 and joined IIT, Bombay for three years. During that period I was given full salary from Kerala Govt and stipend from IIT. I finished my work on Prediction of the combustion characteristics of Cyclone furnace. For this I had to study Computer programming, Russian Language and Chemical kinetics in addition. By 1979 March PhD was awarded to me. Though I obtained job in Gulf, I could not go due to war in 1980. In 1981 I got a job in Soudi but I left it as the atmosphere was very bad.
I worked hard handled subject like Cryogenics in PG level on the request of the HOD Albin Sir. I was one of the group of 5 staff who set up computer lab in TKM and handled few subjects on computer.
I obtained a job in Muscat Technical Industrial College, Oman. I left TKM taking 5 years loss of pay leave in 1991. When I returned in 1996 there was a vacancy of Principal in TKM. Though I applied, I was not considered . I considered it as my fate and did not go after Management for the post. Eventually I retired in 1997
I consider all what happened to me as my fate and so do not blame anyone. It will all be due to some mistakes I have done. May Allah bless all Aameen
