"During those days when only manual typing was accessible to us, I used to
type my thesis manually which took many weeks for me. Dr.Gift used to visit
me at home daily to encourage me. Whenever I had long academic discussions
with my guide Dr.Rani Siromoney I used to wonder about my returning home,
but Dr.Gift would appear there and would never hesitate to take me on his
bike"

"When I was contemplating on the choice of different titles for my Ph.D
thesis, Dr.Gift helped me decide the most suitable"

"When I joined the faculty at MCC, Dr.Gift was the first one to give me the
essential tips for teaching. He taught me intricate details in handling the
Telescope in the Astronomy lab. During the Staff association meetings, if
there was any tension between any staff members, I had seen Dr.Gift
immediately cracking a joke to ease the tension and bring the situation
under control"
-J.Samuel Cornelius
"I remember with gratitude Dr.Gift Siromoney, the support he gave and the
concern he had for me while I was writing my Ph.D thesis. He took care of my
thesis to the extent of choosing a colour for the wrapper! He gave me
valuable tips for paper presentation at conferences. I was touched by his
concern and affection when he came all the way on his motorbike to
Meenambakkam not minding the cold morning to see me off at 4.00 A.M. during my
first visit abroad"
-V.Rajkumar Dare
"Dr.Gift introduced me to the algebraic aspects of graph grammars which in turn helped
me to choose the topic for my M.Phil dissertation and later in research work
also"
-N.G.David
" Dr Gift Siromoney used to advice me as to " How To Teach". For example, if a piece of chalk fell down during a lecture do not pick it immediately but continue your lecture and pick up the chalk
unnoticed"
-Gnanaraj Thomas
"It is still fresh in my memory the important tips Dr.Gift gave me when I
was preparing to attend an interview for a teaching post. Whenever I had to
work late in the department, he would make sure that I return home
safely"
