A few students made my day. I got such nice messages from some of them. Particularly, one long conversation on the phone with a student who has now joined for an MSc in Organic Chemistry.
I call my PhD guide on the phone once in a way and his wife says he enjoys his chats with me.
During the work for my PhD, my guide had a hands off method of guiding students (which suited me best), unlike a colleague of his who would micro-manage his student's work in the lab.
But what I tried to learn from him, is to live life in a a balanced manner. Most importantly he was unflappable. It had a calming effect during the many crises that came up during the course of my doctoral studies. I owe him a lot for that.
