"My father was a man with a GOLDEN HEART. He was a much disciplined man. When you heard the word discipline you would only think of my father. He was a very honest man. He used to help students by paying their fees or give them money for their books or uniform. When he went to Zambia as a Head, he tutored his house servant to enable him to pass examinations without charge. But he never spoke or boasted about it. He distributed the "Prasad "of knowledge. I can never repay him but I follow his teachings".
