It would have been way back in 2011, for the first time, that i met this person wearing a long kurta, with an unshaved face and not properly combed hair, in the bus plying to Ernakulam and return, and at bus stops. After having met him frequently, i made friendship with him, and casually asked him for his contact number. When he said he did not have a mobile phone, my initial thought was that he was kidding me and did not want to share his contact number with me.
On our journey back to our native place from Ernakulam, we used to engage in discussions on philosophical, technological, scientific and political matters. He is found to be very knowledgeable and well read on so many topics.
Yes, it would be quite amusing to have an encounter with a person who is fully updated with all knowledge of electronic and communication spheres, yet still doesn't possess a mobile phone. He is Sooraj Kamal, currently pursuing his PhD in Underwater Acoustics in Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT).
