Dear Dr Shukla,
You will certainly not remember me because I left IIT Delhi due to family compulsions after one year in 1979. However, I do remember you because you took our batch’s first class in IITD in the First Semester.
Am privileged to have been a student of such an illustrious individual.
Warm regards,
Uttam
