Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 9 : Iconic cricketer M.S.Dhoni said that he has always been a big fan of teachers, as he released the autobiography of techno-educationalist, Prof K.
K. Abdul Gaffar's 'Njaan Sakshi'(me as the witness) that reveals many interesting details.
Expressing gratitude to his teachers, Dhoni said that the autobiography will provide an insight into Prof Gaffar's journey and how education and students have changed over the years.
"As a teacher, you have to make it as simple as possible for the students to understand.
In a class, you have to consider every student as all of them have different IQ levels. So I feel teaching is not only a profession, it is an art where you discipline students and also tell them about their strengths and weaknesses to groom them.
So, I have always been a big fan of the teachers I had throughout my schooling. I have never been to a college, but I think I did quite well," said Dhoni who came all the way from his hometown Ranchi to Kasargod - the northern most tip of Kerala.
Marwan Al Mullah, the CEO of Dubai health authority (DHA), received the first copy from Dhoni.
Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, in a video message said that Prof Gaffar's autobiography highlights his life, knowledge, and dedication.
According to the Governor, this work will serve as inspiration for everyone.
In addition to teaching at REC Kozhikode and TKM Engineering College Kollam, Prof Abdul Gaffar served as the principal of the Engineering College in Bhatkal, Karnataka.
Incidentally, the book includes the infamous disappearance of P.
Rajan, an engineering student from Kozhikode REC, during the emergency period and recalls the pressure put on him on behalf of the government and the police to influence him as a witness in the case.
He was the last person who saw Rajan before the latter was taken into custody by the police from the REC hostel on March 1, 1976.
According to Prof Gaffar, he had met Rajan and his friends at his place as they were coming back after winning the university youth festival.
His emotional account of Rajan waving at him as he walks into the night is one of the most heart-warming passages of the book.
The book has a lot of such details about the case, both known and unknown to Kerala society.

New Delhi [India], October 3 : Ranveer Singh's look as Sultan Alauddin Khilji is finally out and it's everything a fan of the 'energiser bunny,' as he is fondly called, would die for (quite literally).
Ghastly, kohl-eyed, and ferocious, with a uniquely-styled hair, Ranveer's Padmavati look is what nightmares are made of, or may be for and reeks of the adjectives already been given to him - the villain of the piece, the evil, and the lustful megalomaniac.
The badass little scar underneath his eye gives a serious run for money to the original scarface. Making him look even deadlier is the malevolent colour of his eyes, which gives him an even more grungy look.
The swashbuckling actor took to Twitter to introduce the world to the character by posting two posters.
Prior to this, the makers had first revealed Deepika Padukone's look as Rani Padmini following which they revealed Shahid Kapoor as Maharawal Ratan Singh.
Deepika Padukone as the beautiful, elegant and unibrowed Queen Padmini aka Padmavati was enough to make the Twitterati fall in love with the gorgeousness of the actress, while Shahid Kapoor as Padmavati's husband, the grim, battle-ravaged Maharawal Ratan Singh was a delight and a revelation.
'Padmavati' is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The movie went through its share of controversies with a fringe Rajput group, Rajasthan's Shri Rajput Karni Sena, vandalising the sets of the movie a couple of times, and even manhandling the director once.
They are said to have issues with how Bhansali is handling the equation between Padmavati and Khilji. It was also reported that playing Khilji had taken a toll on Ranveer's mind and consequentially, he actually had his friends worried.
The actor is now even planning to go to a psychiatrist to get rid of the Khilji influences. The magnum opus is all set to hit the screens on December 1..
