Today, we say goodbye to a truly extraordinary soul. My beloved cousin (Anneh/அண்ணை), Dr. Krishnar Pasupathy, passed away at the remarkable age of 100, a full century of wisdom, kindness, and unforgettable presence. In my youth, I spent countless hours with him, and those moments shaped me in ways I still carry today. At a time when I watched only Tamil films, he gently opened a new world for me. He took me to Hindi movies, sat beside me, and introduced me to stories, music, and emotions I had never experienced before. Because of him, I became a fan of Hindi cinema a small example of how he broadened my horizons and enriched my life. But his influence didn’t stop there. He was a mentor to me in so many ways, guiding me, encouraging me, and helping me see life with a wider, wiser lens. His advice was gentle, his presence steady, and his impact lasting. A century of life is a blessing, but the real gift was the way he lived it, with generosity, curiosity, and a heart that touched everyone around him. Your legacy lives on in the lessons you taught, the memories you created, and the lives you shaped including mine. Forever remembered. Forever cherished.
