Kolar’s bank clerk Shivashankara Sastry is a maths and science communicator, brilliant origami and kirigami artiste, avid fossil collector, amateur astronomer and author of books on science for children, writes Aruna Chandaraju
V Sivashankara Sastry presents a picture of contrasts. By occupation, he is a clerk in a bank in a small town. He is also mild-mannered, unassuming, always simply attired, and would be easily lost in a crowd. But by passion, he is an amalgam of so many interesting things––maths and science communicator, brilliant origami and kirigami artiste, talented painter, cartoonist, ornithologist, avid fossil-collector, amateur astronomer, author of 14 books for children on making science and mathematics easy to understand, and translator for two science-activity books. Quite an amazing package, that!
