I have known Ana since 5 years old joining Royal primary and then College and thereafter for 5 years in IIT Madras and regularly caught up once a year at least and last met in March 2019. He was more than a friend a true brother to me. Ana had absolutely no mean bone in him, he never said anything to hurt anyone, generous to the core, gave without expecting anything in return and was fun loving and easy to get along without any complications. His intelligence and Intellect was of the highest order, very well read ànd could process complex information very quickly, we spent more time skipping classes than attending them but he always came out with flying colors in exams. I do know him to be a very loving, deeply caring and really a serious and spiritual person which he hid with a lackadaisical carefree persona that he tried to portray on the outside. I will miss all those good times we had together in our friendship over the years. Adieu and Bon Voyage my friend, my brother, rest well in peace and harmony until we meet again in another place and time.
