Our dearest Anandan, I still remember the day that we both held your Appa’s (Kandiah தாத்தா) hands and went to Tellippalai Union College for the Saraswati Pooja for ஏடு தொடக்குதல், the games we played together and the funny stories you used to tell me to laugh and ghost stories to scare me. I laugh when I think about the English plays we used to perform in together at Union College. At Tellippalai Mahajana College, we both developed our love for music. You played miruthangam when I sang and admonished me for making mistakes with thaalam. I'm very proud of the contribution you made to Carnatic music and fondly remember our time with you and your family in London. I’ll remember how you called me your niece from Melbourne even though I was 9 months older than you. You will always be my cheeky "little" (youngest) uncle. You will truly be missed. Rest in Peace. Our heartfelt condolences to Bamini, Sowmiya , Kajan, Kajni and Kandiah தாத்தா’s family
