It requires so much of research & the ability to put it together.
But then, it is no surprise because Vijay Stokes was my class mate till 1954 – he left & I continued till 1957.
An unforgetable event involving Vijay Stokes in 1954 : He was brilliant even then. He had gone under the floor-boards of a class room & made a sort of Lab. with electric connection from the class room. It was discovered by chance when a chowkidar saw some light from a crack in the boards, during his night rounds. Of course, there was a lot of commotion & explanations; but the general opinion was: this guy is a genius !!
We all admired him.
All the best Vijay.
