He was an icon and household name in the English language and English literature teaching community in the country.I had the pleasure of knowing Ganakumaran both as a friend and a tutor. He was doing his doctorate in Nottingham University in the United Kingdom when I met him as an undergraduate in the campus some 26 years ago.
He had a car and whenever we needed to get to someplace urgent, he was ever willing to go out of his way to help us. Being from Seremban, I was posted to a secondary school in Port Dickson and in my third year there, I applied to study my Masters in English Education. I did not have the pleasure of attending any of his classes but in my final semester, I was assigned to Ganakumaran for consultation and the supervision of my Masters thesis, which was on literature.
As Ganakumaran walked into the narrow corridor, we all got up and greeted him before he stepped into his room. Shortly after, I received a call from him on my handphone, telling me that I could see him at his home on a weekend.
