Thank You, for posting this on you blog.
Dr. K Gopalan was one of the few people in India who have contributed to the national education policies and have passed away unknown.

These are the stars , that shine bright , affect our lives positively and fade away.....

Dr Karappurath Gopalan, my father, an amazing wonderful parent, consistently inspired us, his family. I am forever thankful for my Dad, Dr K Gopalan, who inspired not just his daughters and wife but many many others with delightful humor and with earnest conversations, to choose a purposeful way of life and derive satisfaction from their accomplishments regardless of whether these accomplishments were big or small.
