It is with profound sorrow that I share the passing of my dearest friend, whose unwavering support and wisdom have been a cornerstone in my life. During my time in the United Kingdom, his timely advice and selfless guidance shaped many of the pivotal decisions that have defined who I am today. For this, I will remain eternally grateful. To his beloved wife, Malar, and his cherished son and daughter, I extend my deepest sympathies. Please know that your loss is shared by all of us who had the privilege of knowing such a remarkable soul. May his atman find eternal peace and moksha. His legacy of kindness, wisdom, and generosity will forever remain in our hearts.
