Uncle, I’m not really sure where to begin, but my fondest memory of you is probably when I first met you. It was at your house that I first met everyone on the Kandiah side and from the moment I walked through the door, you made me feel at home. I was scared and apprehensive, but you made me feel at ease with your jovial and loving nature. I had known of you for years before that because your name on the Carnatic Music scene preceded you, but to get to know you on a personal level, is something I will always treasure. During the short time I knew you, it was evident to see how humble, gentle and kind a man you were. You brought out the best in everyone and was able to light up a room within seconds of being in it. Although I didn’t see you that often, I will cherish the time we had together and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all that you did to make this World a better place. Your legacy will live on in your students and your memory will live in all our hearts. Rest in eternal peace, Vidya X
