Professor V. N. K. Kumar is 82 years old. He believes that in his previous incarnation before retirement (or so it seems now), Prof Kumar was a chartered Mechanical Engineer and graduated from IIM, Ahmedabad.
Prof. Kumar has worked in Industries like TATA Engineering and Locomotive Co., SAIL and CUMI as Training manager. He has taught in institutes like Xavier Institute of Social Service (XISS), Ranchi as a professor of management.
Prof. Kumar has two sons and three grandchildren. He is presently living in Mysore with his wife.
In the years to come, our descendants will want to know what it was like to be alive now, during the Great Pandemic of 2020. But memory is an imperfect instrument. It fades, it fragments, it’s easily rewritten.
For the sake of those stories we’ll tell one day, I wanted to write down the feel of this moment while my impressions are fresh.
